What are the different types of roses?
Floribunda
Make any landscape designs stand out with the most colorful of rose types.
Developed during the last century, these bushy shrubs have the large, showy
blossoms of the hybrid teas, but bloom more freely, setting clusters of three to
fifteen blossoms rather than a single bloom on a stem. Floribundas are versatile; an
individual shrub will fit easily into almost any sunny border planting. However,
they are perhaps most striking in mass plantings.
Hybrid Tea
One of the most popular rose types, these are tall, long-stemmed roses ideal for
cutting--the roses you usually see at the florist. The flowers are usually borne
singly, one to a stem, rather than in clusters. Blooms have a high-center point. In
the garden they are often featured as single specimens or in a traditional rose
cutting garden. Many varieties reveal a beautiful fragrance.
Grandiflora
A grandiflora is a cross between a floribunda and a hybrid tea. Grandifloras are tall
elegant plants which bloom repeatedly during the season, and generally feature
classic hybrid tea flower clusters with stems which are slightly shorter than those
of hybrid teas.
Shrub & Landscape
These roses have changed the way many people view roses. Shrub roses, especially
when compared with traditional varieties, are impressive for many reasons: their
natural disease-resistance, their willingness to grow in a variety of climates with a
minimum of attention from the gardener, their compact growth habit (very little
pruning required), not to mention the great beauty of their flowers, which are borne
consistently over a very long season. Coming in all shapes and sizes, shrub and
landscape roses work well in any landscape. Landscape roses grow close to the
ground, like ground cover, and have a very spreading habit.
Climber
Climbing roses help dress up any garden. They produce long, arching canes with
numerous flowers that can be trained to a trellis, fence, or other supporting
structure. Grow them up and over an arching trellis to make a striking entryway;
train them up a lattice to adorn a plain wall. Miniature
Perfection on this scale can't fail to captivate! Miniature roses are the smallest of
rose plants, growing anywhere from six inches to two feet tall. This rose type is
hardy, flowers continuously and is perfect for container gardening, make lovely
borders, and solve the space problem for those with a small yard or balcony.
Miniatures are grown on their own root.
Tree Roses
Tree roses are made up of a hardy root stock grafted to a long stem that is, in turn,
grafted to a rose bush at the top of the stem. They are very elegant lining a
walkway or as a feature amongst other plantings. The tree rose is a lovely addition
to the garden, but extra care is needed to insure its survival over winter. We have
an excellent selection of colors in two different sizes 24” at $34.95 and 36” at
$44.95. Many people will leave the tree rose in a container on the patio all
summer long.
Basic Pruning
Pruning Tools:

Ping Lim is a rosarian for the twenty-first century, with a background that spans continents and
horticultural traditions. Raised in Laos and educated in Taiwan, Ping got his first American job
in San Francisco. Now, after years of study and training in every aspect of rose breeding, marketing and production, he is Rose Research Director for Bailey Nurseries, leading an award
winning Oregon-based rose breeding program.
At Bailey Nurseries Ping oversees the cross breeding, testing and evaluation of thousands of
seedlings per year. Only a few of the strongest survive the rigorous selection process to be introduced to the commercial market, and the quality of those selections has made them famous. In
2002 Bailey Nurseries introduced ‘Love and Peace’™, the result of work by Ping and his mentor, Jerry Twomey. The rose was a success, winning the prestigious All America Rose Selections
award. In 2005, Ping Lim won the same award for ‘DayDream’™. Now, only four years after
his first introduction, the rose breeder has produced Easy Elegance®, a line of twenty-five new,
own root roses.
Producing strong new roses means finding strong parent roses. Like many dedicated plantsmen,
Ping is always on the lookout for those parents, and he has traveled far and wide in search of
new rose species to use in his breeding efforts. His Asian heritage and fluency in Asian languages and dialects have made it easy for him to work in China and other Asian countries,
where scores of species roses await discovery. To date, Ping has brought thirty-five previously
undiscovered species back from his travels, ready for propagating, testing and possible use in

The Knock Out Rose Family: the new generation of disease resistant continuous blooming shrub roses!
Without a doubt Bill Radler has revolutionized the concept
of what great garden roses should be, hardy, disease-free
and floriferous, with the development of the Knock Out
rose. Many gardeners concur that he single-handedly
brought rose genetics from the 20th-century into the 21stcentury. ‘Knock Out’, Bill Radler's first commercial rose
breeding success and a 2000 AARS winner, has broken all
records for sales of a new rose.
Background of the Knock Out Rose:
Knock Out rose was developed by long-time Wisconsinrose
breeder William Radler. William Radler began first working
on his breeding efforts for the Knock Out rose about 20
years ago in the 1980's. His focus was on developing a repeat blooming rose that was highly disease resistant and
cold hardy. In the early stages of his breeding career, he
raised about 600 seedlings a year under fluorescent lights
in his basement.
In 1988, Radler crossed seedlings of Carefree Beauty and
Razzle Dazzle, both hardy roses with good disease resistance. In 1992, the Conard-Pyle Company / Star Roses
began testing the plant. In 2000, it won the prestigious All
-America Rose award, and the company introduced it that
same year. Knock Out quickly became the fastest selling
new rose in history, with 250,000 sold the first year alone.
William Radler has continued his efforts and work on the Knock Out rose developing new sister varieties that include: Double Knockout, Double Pink Knock Out, Sunny Knock Out and Rainbow Knockout.
Appearance of the Knock Out Rose:
Knock Out (PP 11,836 cut. ‘Radars’) is a shrub rose that grows about 3 feet tall and wide. It produces
terminal clusters of single, 3-inch diameter cherry red blooms. As long as it continues to grow through
the summer, it will continue to bloom. Some claim it’s one of the longest
blooming roses on the market. It’s not well suited for use as a cut flower and
the blooms only have a light tea rose fragrance. Forget about ever having to
care for this rose with its bullet-proof foliage that completely repels Blackspot
and mildew and its compact shape that only requires an annual trim to stay
neat and clean. Periodic dead-heading of spent blooms will encourage this prolific bloomer to continue providing you with a colorful show all season long.
Uses for Knock Out Roses:
Knock Out Roses really shine when used as flowering hedges, foundation plants in perennial beds and
borders, in a large patio container or adjacent to an entryway. The compact shape and form of the
Knock Out rose works well with ornamental grasses, evergreens and other ornamental plants. Our
nursery is located in a USDA zone 5b gardening zone and we have had Knock Out roses blooming well
into November!

Oso Happy®
Roses
Sometimes a plant name
is about more than just
the plant itself. We think
Oso Happy® is a good
example of this, for if there
was ever someone who
was truly happy about his
work, it would be rose
breeder David Zlesak.
David’s run for the roses was inspired by a
newspaper article about Knock Out® breeder Will
Radler. Mr. Radler introduced young David (13 at
the time) to a local rosarian, Elton Strack, who
encouraged him to look beyond the showy hybrid
teas in garden catalogs and consider hardier
species. And when we say hardy, we mean it:
David grew up in Wisconsin and has done much
of his plant breeding in Minnesota. It was in
Rhinelander, Wisconsin that he selected the
R. polyantha lines that eventually found their way
into the Oso Happy® series.
“I continue to love and work with polyantha roses
because I love their habit and abundant blooming".
David is quick to credit those who helped him
realize his dreams of breeding a better rose:
experienced plant breeders, generous nursery
supervisors and kind landlords have all helped
him along the way.
“Breeding roses and all the wonderful people I’ve
met and things I’ve learned kept me inspired to
pursue horticulture for my profession.”
Now he inspires the next generation of
horticulturists as a teacher at UW-River Falls.
Hardy Shrub - candy apple red

goes loco to finish all lavender! You just can’t imagine a

soft lavender blossom. Early to bloom, every lovely bud
spirals open with impeccable show form. The flowers last

English Roses:
These roses have a stronger survival rate than the previously mentioned roses. Good results
have been reported with a minimal amount of protection such as following steps 1 - 4. Some
people have had a
high survival rate just raking a good amount of leaves around the plants.
Climbing Roses:
Follow steps 1 - 3 then lay all the canes to the ground and hold with wire pins or notched
stakes. Cover the entire plant (canes and all) with several inches of soil, bark mulch or cocoa
bean mulch. After the soil or mulch has frozen cover the soil with marsh hay or straw. Remove
the mulch on a gradual basis in the Spring after danger of frost. NOTE: Schroeder’s Plant Doctors recommend winter hardy shrub/climber roses do not need winter protection: Henry Kelsey,
William Baffin, John Cabot, from the Explorer Series.
Tree Roses:
Option #1: You planted the tree in the ground:
After three 28 degree frosts, dig carefully under the roots on one side of the plant until the plant
can be completely laid on the ground. This must be done very carefully to prevent breaking all
root connections with the soil. Cover the entire plant with several inches of soil or bark mulch.
After the soil or mulch freezes, cover with marsh hay or straw. In the Spring after danger of
frost, gradually remove the mulch and set the plant upright.
Option #2: You left the tree in it’s pot:
After three 28 degree frosts dig a trench in an empty space in the garden 8 inches deep and long
enough to fit the height of the rose and pot. Lay the rose in the tench and cover with an old
sheet, then cover with the soil removed from the trench. After the ground has frozen rake over
with leaves or cover with straw or marsh hay. Dig up in the Spring after danger of hard frost is
past. NOTE: Make sure to mark where the rose is so as not to accidentally cut it in half in the
Spring!
After three 28 degree frosts, bring the pot into an attached unheated garage. Wrap the entire
plant, pot and all, with old sheets or burlap and set up on blocks so it’s not sitting on the cold
floor. Make sure to water well before storing and check monthly if it needs to be watered. Remove from the garage after danger of hard frost in Spring. NOTE: This is the least effective of
the three options.
Rose survival rate is not 100%.
Shrub Roses:
Hybrid Rugosa roses do not need winter protection. Other shrub roses could benefit from a
mound of bark mulch placed around the base of the plant 4-6 inches deep after three 28 degree
frosts. Be sure to remove the extra mulch in the spring after danger of a hard freeze has passed.

Winter Care of Roses
Winter protection is important to make sure your plants are healthy going into winter. Healthy
plants have a better survival rate during our severe winters. In the fall, leave the last blooms on
the plant so hips will form (decorative seed pods). When the rose has hips, growth will slow
and dormancy will prevail.
WINTER PROTECTION FOR:
Hybrid Teas, Floribundas, Grandifloras and Miniatures :
1. After 3 frosts of 28 degrees, tie all the canes together to protect them from wind damage.
NOTE: Do not prune rose bushes in the fall.
2. Sanitation practices play a big part in raising roses. Remove all diseased leaves from the
plant
and ground area during the growing season and before winter dormancy to prevent reinfestations of pest and fungal organisms. If recycling rose collars, be sure to disinfect them
before use so diseases harbored from the previous year, do not reinfect the plants.
3. Apply systemic insecticide and fungicide to the rose canes and soil surface until the first
frost. This will provide the plant with some protection against fungal growth over the winter.
You can also use a dormant oil spray. Which will act as a protective coating on the plant, to
also help prevent fugal growth.
4. Cover the crown of each plant with a soil, bark mulch, or cocoa bean mulch mound approximately 10 inches high to protect against frequent temperature changes and extreme cold, which
will injure your roses. Schroeder’s Plant Doctors recommend using a rose collar, which is 9
inches high and 12 inches wide to prevent the mound from spreading out and not giving the
proper insulation for the roses. Or you can construct your own collar. If you are using rose
cones, you can prune just enough to get the roses under the cone. The soil or mulch should be
mounded as mentioned in step #4 - make sure there are holes in the top and side of the cone to
provide air movement.
NOTE: There are limited results with using rose cones.
5. After the mound has frozen in the late fall, generally around Thanksgiving, pile marsh hay,
straw or leaves over the mounded canes and between the rose bushes. Hold the material in
place by covering with some soil. These materials help keep the soil temperature constant preventing premature thawing and re-freezing resulting in heaving of the soil which snaps the
roots. NOTE: Remove the mulch in the Spring, on a gradual basis, after danger of severe frost
is past to prevent damage caused by poor air circulation.
