Growing Roses Few flowering plants can match the beauty, versatility and popularity of the rose. Hybrid tea roses typically grow to 4 to 6 feet tall and floribundas generally range from 3 to 4 feet tall. Most popular pillar and climbing roses reach 8 to 15 feet tall.
Most roses grow fairly rapidly.
Tea roses may reach their full height after only three to four years and grow to that height each year despite being cut back each year. Many of the modern roses will only live six to 10 years unless given exceptional care. Some species and climbing roses will live 50 years or more. Many are highly valued for their fragrance. Landscape uses are quite varied because of the many different types of roses.
