What are the best standard roses?

Roses On A Leg.

Standard or tree roses are bush rose varieties grafted onto the top of a straight stem of a species Rose such as Rosa rugosa.
The idea is to bring the Rose blooms up to nose level and to add height to the Rose bed.
Hybrid teas , floribundas, patios and miniature Rose varieties are the most popular to be found as standards.
Species roses and New English types are also available as standards.
Roses grown this way look perfect in formal rose beds. Patio and miniature standards look wonderful in tubs and containers on the patio.
