Roses are one of the most popular garden flowers.
They can be grown in all parts of Minnesota. Shrub and old-fashioned roses are useful in landscape plantings around the home. Selected shrub roses are more disease resistant and may require less winter protection than hybrid tea roses. Climbers are effective when grown on an arbor or fence. The hybrid teas, floribundas, miniatures, and grandifloras are the focus of this fact sheet and require special culture and are best planted in specially prepared beds.
