Abstract
Roses are the most remarkable group of plants. They are both highly variable and versatile. They vary in size from small plants only a very few tens of centimetres tall to huge ramblers growing tens of metres up into trees. The size of the flower can be tiny, less than a centimetre across up to as much as 20cm and in petal count from 5 to 200. Fragrance too is very variable and indeed are second only to orchids in this respect. They can be planted in all styles and sizes of gardens from the small and intimate to large scale and wild and then everything in between. And of course not forgetting that most have a very long flowering season. No other plant can start to compete with such garden worthiness.
