When you imagine perfectly formed, scrolled flowers, one bloom per long, straight stem, you have a hybrid tea in mind.
They have more fragrance than floribunda roses, and their flowers are larger and more complex, perfect for cutting.
Shrub roses, which include all the old varieties, tend to be bigger, thornier, and have a wide range of flower shapes.
The "unofficially official" birthdate of modern rose bushes is that of the first hybrid tea's: 1867, when 'La France' was named by Jean-Baptiste André Guillot (1827-1893).
The parent groups of old roses are Hybrid Perpetuals, which are profuse and repeat flowering, and Tea Roses, which mainly provide height and influence the flower shape.
