have vastly increased the popularity of roses and particularly of old garden
roses. There are so many great roses that have hung on for years on their merits
with only a few specialty gardens growing or selling any more than a few. There are
truly a broad spectrum of shapes and sizes that roses come in, from noisettes, to
gallicas, and bourbons, to name a few. There are many species roses as well, some of
which have been hybridized to become the modern roses. It may be important from a
breeding standpoint to maintain the genepool of these roses but an absolute pleasure to
the senses as well.
