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.
