Picking out a rose plant may sound easy, but gardeners are often
faced with many options such as bare-root, containerized, grafted,
own-root, and various grades. All of these options may play a part
in the decision-making process of selecting roses for the garden.
Of prime importance is selecting varieties that will fit into a
garden based upon size of the garden, local growing conditions,
and varieties that the grower likes and feels will fit into his
plan.
Grades
Grafted roses are sold based upon American
Nursery Standards grades 1, 1 1/2, and 2.
How to Buy Roses
Rose plants can be purchased locally through garden
centers and other retail outlets or by mail.
Budded and Own-root Roses
