Roses for Victorian and Queen Anne Styled Architecture
Inspiration
The front lawn of a typical Victorian or Queen Anne home was only broken by an occasional shade or ornamental tree. Clumps of shrubs were spaced periodically along the property line. Flowerbeds were intended to be viewed from windows, and planted with brilliantly colored annuals in the popular carpet bedding style. The centerpiece would be a circular bed of large subtropical plants castor bean in the center, followed by a ring of cannas.

Lawn as white as driven snow Cyprus black as e'er crow. Gloves as sweet as damask roses.

The Charlatan, climbing rose Of all the flowers, me thinks a rose is best. |

Tiffany, hybrid tea rose What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. |

Chrysler Imperial, hybrid tea rose
At Christmas I no more desire a rose
Than wish a snow in May's new-fangled mirth; But like of each thing that in season grows.

Pink Peace, hybrid tea rose Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell
Of different flowers in odour and in hue
Could make me any summer's story tell,
Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew;
Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.

Pope John Paul II, hybrid tea roseThe rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem
For that sweet odour which doth in it live.

What is a floribunda rose?
When looking up the word Floribunda in the dictionary you will find something such as this: New Latin, feminine of floribundus — flowering freely. Just as the name suggests, the floribunda rose is a beautiful bloom machine. She loves to bloom with clusters of beautiful blooms with several of her blooms in flower at one time. These wonderful rose bushes can put forth blooms that are much like those of the hybrid tea or can have flat or cup shaped blooms. The floribunda rose bushes make marvelous landscape plantings due to their typically lower and bushy form — and she loves to cover herself with clusters or sprays of blooms. Floribunda rose bushes are typically easier to care for as well as being very hardy. Floribundas are very popular largely because they seem to be continually in bloom during the season versus the hybrid tea, which blooms in cycles that spread out the periods of being in bloom by about six weeks. The floribunda rose bushes came about by crossing polyantha roses with hybrid tea rose bushes. Some of my favorite floribunda rose bushes are:

The polyantha rose bushes are usually smaller rose bushes than the floribunda rose bushes but are sturdy plants overall. The polyantha roses bloom in large clusters of small 1-inch (2.5 cm.) diameter blooms. The polyantha rose bushes are one of the parents of the floribunda rose bushes. The polyantha rose bush’s creation dates back to 1875 – France (bred in 1873 – France), the first bush being named Paquerette, which has beautiful clusters of white blooms. The polyantha rose bushes were born from the crossing of wild roses. One series of polyantha rose bushes features the names of the Seven Dwarfs. They are: Grumpy Rose (medium pink cluster blooms) Bashful Rose (pink blend cluster blooms) Doc Rose (medium pink cluster blooms) Sneezy Rose (deep pink to light red cluster blooms) Sleepy Rose (medium pink cluster blooms) Dopey Rose (medium red cluster blooms) Happy Rose (a truly cheery medium red cluster blooms) The Seven Dwarfs polyantha roses were introduced in 1954, 1955, and 1956. Some of my favorite polyantha rose bushes are: Margo’s Baby Rose The Fairy Rose China Doll Rose Cecile Brunner Rose Some of these are available as polyantha climbing rose bushes as well.

The American Rose Society is the largest single-plant society in the United States. Founded in 1892, it is a non-profit educational organization which promotes the growth and appreciation of the national flower of the United States -- the Rose. The ARS provides rose assistance for home gardeners, sponsors local rose societies throughout the U.S. and serves as the international registrar for roses throughout the world. ARS headquarters is located in Shreveport, Louisiana, at the Gardens of the American Rose Center, the Society's 118-acre park -- the nation's largest private garden dedicated to roses.
[From Roses of America, by Stephen Scanniello and Tania Bayard, p. 20:] During its early years, the American Rose Society was essentially a small association of commercial nurserymen. The man who transformed it into a dynamic organization of dedicated amateur as well as professional rose growers was J. Horace McFarland, president of the society from 1930-1932, who published the first American Rose Annual in 1916 and served as editor of the prestigious yearbook for nearly thirty years.
