old roses
Heritage garden flowers
Old roses are rose varieties that existed before the introduction of hybrid tea roses in 1867.
They typically bloom once per season, have intense fragrance, and display a more informal, many-petaled form than modern roses.
Gardeners prize them for hardiness and historical character: The old roses along the fence have bloomed every June for eighty years.
