By Calif_Sue | Roses come in an astonishing variety of shapes and sizes that can be used to complement any gardening style, from relaxed cottage gardening to more formal bedding or courtyard schemes. Few flowers can equal the rose for massed effect in the garden, but it is the individual bloom that makes it the "Queen of Flowers." These blooms come in widely diverse shapes, sizes, colors, and scents. Here are some brief descriptions of a few common flower shapes and petal counts, illustrated with photos from our ATP database. |
Bubbles said:I have been back over the rose photos a couple of times. I have a few roses, but they're mostly old ones that grow well in TX. Your article and beautiful photos are now tempting me to "go on a hunt" for a few new ones to add this spring. DH will not be happy with you....
