The following is a selected list of rose varieties and cultivars which currently (2017)[1] hold the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2][3]
This sortable list allows users to view roses alphabetically by breeder, colour, etc. - as well as ordering them by size if required. Clicking on the double arrow a second time reverses the alphabetical order.
↑ shows the maximum height in metres. ←→ shows the maximum spread in square metres. Notes indicates sources of names where known. Repeat flower indicates whether the variety has a single flush of flowers in summer, or further flushes of flowers through the season.
