Tree roses are also known as standard
roses. They are cultivated by grafting a rose on a trunk to produce a
tall plant that has long stems and colorful flowers. Standard
roses combine the best elements of a strong
rootstock, a tall stem, and the desired flower. Standard
roses are used in the landscape to create height.

| Just Joey Tree Rose |
Full-size standard roses grow 4 to 6 feet while varieties grow 12 inches
tall. Dwarf standard roses
share the tree-like shape, the long stems, and the rich flower color, just in a
smaller size.
I have planted several standard roses a few years ago and
they are still in very good shape. I give them a good pruning every spring and
once again middle of summer; severe pruning in spring must be done in order to
have a compact crown. Deadheading must be done as soon as the flowers fade.

| Red Ingrid Bergman Tree Rose |
Some of my favorite tree rose I have in my garden are the
Just Joey and the red Ingrid Bergman which I have several. Although both roses
does not have fragrance, their bloom size and form are spectacular.
I like the Just Joey roses, it is beautiful with those huge flowers although it does not have smell.
