GRANDIFLORA ROSES 





The marvelous, long-stemmed roses you get from a florist are Hybrid Teas. They come in a wide color 
range, are large and well formed, many richly fragrant, usually long stemmed. All are perfect to cut. 
Grandifloras generally grow taller than Hybrid Teas. Their flowers may be somewhat smaller, in 












stemmed clusters. They are best planted where their height will be an advantage.
