standard rose

Rose on stalk

A standard rose is a rose bush trained to grow on a single tall, straight stem, creating a tree-like form with foliage and blooms clustered at the top.

The effect is ornamental and formal, often used in garden design for symmetry or as focal points: A row of standard roses lined the walkway.

Also called a tree rose.
