Ok, I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question, but how do you know if a rose is a garden rose? Just fuller? Is it named a garden rose. Never have seen "garden roses" listed on any of the wholesale lists. Please fill me in on the mystery of this.......
Garden Roses?

Well the sweet and short definition I have is they look somewhat like peonies, Tons of petals. Puts me in the mind of an English rose. Or my interpretation of an english rose. There are some roses such as latin ambiance that I'm not so sure if they fall into the category of garden roses,but they sure look like it to me when they open.
And some of the varieties are really expensive.
Somebody had posted on FC a while back about some grower having a garden rose design contest. Maybe that person will speak up........
Oh and If I'm wrong in my definition, I for sure know someone will correct me

A garden rose is a completely different variety of rose than the standard roses. They can be described as looking much more like a peony, but some look a little like ranunculus and some similar to standard roses.
The contest is being held by Transflora (http://www.transflora.net/). Check out their website for more information and some photos. My personal favorite (it's probably my favorite rose, period) is Yves Piaget, a French variety. Wonderful fragrance, and beautiful blossom.
One advantage of the garden roses that look like peonies is that brides and event coordinators sometimes want a peony look when availability of peonies is low. If they have the budget, the garden roses might be a decent substitute.

A garden rose is grown in a garden. 
Hybrid Tea, Grandiflora, Climbers, English Tea Rose (which I think are ugly) Shrub Roses (which reminds me of weeds/wild roses) Mini Roses are all garden roses.
Some Hybrid Tea Roses are used in commercial Production. One that comes to mind is Kardinal. Back in the early 90's, I used to buy Kardinals for cut work.

garden roses are specially cultivated and are not widely available ...but they could be. current business conditions cause many traditional wholesalers to not speculate and bring unsold product in. however, most of the wholesale community has access to our product...if you were to ask them.
transflora has availability of french and german garden roses (meilland and tantau). these specimens have a high perceived value and are excellent for event and wedding work.
some varieties (not all) have been cultivated to provide extended vase life and are suitable for everyday design work.
yes...transflora is sponsoring a garden rose design contest. for details...go to www.transflora.net/designcontest. the winner gets a caribbean cruise for 2.
if anyone cares for more information on garden roses, they can send me a private message or email me at [email protected].
have a great day...and make every minute count!
