The stems of roses are typically heavily armed with prickles of various shapes and sizes, which are sometimes known as thorns. They can be upright, climbing, or trailing bushes.  Although there are variations within each of the categories, there are generally five basic scents: Old or Traditional Rose (also known as Damask), Tea, Myrrh, Fruit, and Musk.

Important aspects in growing roses

-Most roses do best in direct sunlight.
-They require rich, wet soil that drains well.
-Regularly water them to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
-Rose plants have an appetite. Mulch yearly with organic material like well-rotted animal dung, and think about applying a rose feed to encourage summer flowering.
-Roses should be pruned every year to stimulate strong growth, maintain shape, and encourage flowering.
-From November to March, plant roses at their bare root. Roses grown in containers can be planted at any time of the year.
