Old Roses

Old Roses

(abbrev. "OR", "OGR", see also English Roses, Modern Roses)

Sometimes called "Old Roses", "Old-fashioned Roses" or "Antique Roses", these are the varieties of roses that existed before 1867 when the first Hybrid Tea was introduced. Some of the classes of Old Roses are the "Albas", "Bourbons", "Boursaults", "Centifolias", "Chinas", "Damasks", "Gallicas", "Hybrid Perpetuals", "Mosses", "Noisettes", "Portlands", and "Tea roses". Some of the "Ramblers" and "Rugosas" are considered Old Roses. As a group, "Old Roses" tend to be once blooming, though some are repeat bloomers. They tend to be more disease-resistant and require less maintenance than the "Hybrid Teas" which accounts for some of their popularity. There are exceptions to this, especially the "China Roses" and "Tea roses". The "China Roses" and "Tea roses" are tender and disease prone, but are very important because they provide the repeat blooming genes to many classes of roses (notably Hybrid Teas). This FAQ contains a document with more information about Old Roses.

Tea Roses: Old Roses for Warm Gardens

Synopsis

Teas - once almost forgotten - are now being acclaimed as superb roses for warm gardens. Bred for a century or so from 1820, they were descended mainly from Chinese garden hybrids introduced into Europe in the early nineteenth century. Teas brought characteristics that had not been seen before in European roses. These included an intriguing multi-layered fragrance; a new range of colours; a higher-centred flower shape; gently nodding heads; and a bushy, twiggy growth habit. Even more importantly, the Teas whose ancestors came from temperate to subtropical areas of China bloomed almost continuously in favourable conditions and did not need a dormant period.The authors aim to bring together the observations and knowledge they have accumulated about the Teas and to tell something of their past history. In this title, full details are given of roses currently being sold as Teas in Australia, as well as some Tea-like found roses. Descriptions are first-hand and not just a repetition of what has been said before. The authors grow most of the Teas known in Australia, and these are a large proportion of those commercially available elsewhere.

Consequently, the information given about them will be relevant wherever these roses are grown.
