These are a modern category of rose developed mainly for mass amenity planting. They are collectively known as shrub roses. In the late 20th century, traditional hybrid tea and floribunda rose varieties fell out of favour amid gardeners and landscapers, as they are often labour and chemical intensive plants susceptible to a myriad of pest and disease problems. So-called “landscape” roses have thus been developed to fill the consumer desire for a garden rose that offers colour, form and fragrance, but is also low maintenance and easy to care for. Most landscape roses having the following characteristics: Lower growing habit, usually under 60 cm (24 inches) Repeat flowering Disease and pest resistance Non suckering, growing on their own roots. Principal parties involved in the breeding of new Landscape Roses varieties are: Werner Noak (Germany), Meidiland Roses (France), Boot & Co. (Netherlands), and William Radler... read more

Developed for the extreme weather conditions of Canadian winters, these roses were developed by Agriculture Canada at the Morden Research Station in Morden, Manitoba and the Experimental Farm in Ottawa (and later at L’Assomption, Québec). These two main lines are called the Parkland series and the Explorer series. These programs have now been discontinued; however the remaining plant stock has been taken over by private breeders via the Canadian Artists series. Derived mostly from crosses of native Canadian species and more tender roses, these plants are extremely tolerant of cold weather, some down to -35C. A wide diversity of forms and colours were achieved. Examples include ‘Morden Centennial’, ‘Morden Sunrise, ‘Winnipeg Parks’ and ‘Cuthbert Grant’. Other notable Canadian breeders include Frank Skinner, Percy Wright, Isabella Preston, Georges Bugnet and Robert Erskine. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose ... read more
