Unlike the oldest China roses, no European rose cultivar can be traced back before about 1400. There is nothing to link the simple Gallicas and Albas that can be identified in late medieval paintings to the roses of ancient Greece, Rome, or Persia. Gallica roses may indeed have been cultivated 2,500 years ago, but we can put no names to them. They are selections and hybrids of Rosa gallica, a short suckering rose which is native to southern and central Europe from Spain to Slovakia and eastwards to Turkey. They were greatly developed by French hybridists in the early years of the 19th century, and their large, sweetly scented flowers place them among the most beautiful of all garden plants. They make medium-sized bushes - very hardy, once-flowering, and tolerant of poor soils.
They are short bushes whose flowers repeat constantly: in hot climates they are ever-blooming. When they were introduced to the West and widely distributed, from about 1750 onwards, they gave rise to a European-raised clutch of hybrids which are known as China roses. Examples include Tabvier' and 'Hermosa'. Tea roses are similar to China roses, and share their hybrid ancestry.
Garden roses are grouped in two ways: according to their habits of growth (for example, shrub roses, climbers, their ancestry (Teas, Hybrid Teas, Hybrid Sweetbriars). These groups are not always clear, and they often overlap.
Tea roses make medium-sized bushes that need minimal pruning and flower constantly in hot climates: they are popular in Mediterranean climates, especially in California and Australia. They were widely grown in glasshouses as winter-flowering cut flowers in the 19th century.
Sometimes they are called Old Garden Roses, Old-fashioned Roses, Antique Roses, Heritage Roses or Historic Roses. Many types are onceflowering, including the Alas, Boursaults, Centifolias, Damasks, Gallicas, and Moss roses. The repeat-flowerers are the Bourbons, Chinas, Hybrid Perpetuals, Noisettes, Portlands, and Tea roses.
The Noisette roses are a race of roses derived from .t-nampneys' Pink Cluster', an American hybrid 8 between the wild Rosa moschata and the China rose. `Old Blush'.
They originated in England, and were named after a Duchess of Portland. `Portland Rose' is low and spreading, like a feeble Gallica, but later hybrids tend to be upright and stocky, with very short nodes which give them a dense, leafy look. When the F.uropean roses were crossed with the Chinas and the Teas, the first recognizably modern roses began to emerge, though the Bourbons and the Hybrid Perpetuals are generally categorized as "old" rather than "new".
The Bourbon roses get their name from the dc Bourbon (now Reunion) where the original 'Bourbon Rose' is said to have occurred as a spontaneous hybrid between 'Old Blush' and 'Quatre Saisons'. They are repeat-flowering roses that descend either from the original or from similar crosses between China roses and repeat-flowering Damasks. They are 2-3m (6-1 Oft)tall, with an open habit, glossy leaves, and large, beautiful, sweet-scented flowers.
