rosesEnglish Garden Roses
        Last updated March 2010

A term coined by David Austin to describe roses that resulted
from the hybridization of some of the Old Garden Roses (Gallicas, Damasks,
Portlands, and Bourbons) with modern roses (Hybrid Teas and Floribundas).
They combine the flower form, fragrance and shrubby growth of the Old Roses
with the wider range of color and re-peat blooming of the Modern Roses.
