Grandiflora Roses 2025

Classic large, showy blooms that grow more upright than hybrid tea roses.

 

Grandiflora roses are a stunning cross between hybrid tea roses and floribunda roses, offering the best of both worlds. They combine the elegant, large blooms of hybrid tea roses with the abundant, clustered flowering and vigor of floribundas, making them a favorite for gardens and landscaping.

The bushes can often reach heights of five feet or more. Shades and colours go from soft pastels to deep purples and to top it off, they are sweetly fragrant.
