Modern Roses
The modern age of rose growing began officially when a new class
of rose was developed from a tea/hybrid perpetual cross. The year
was 1867, the hybridzer was Jean-Baptiste Guillot, the rose was
'La France,' and the class that was born was the hybrid tea. The
most popular roses sold and the ones that have the most name recognition
in the modern rose class are the hybrid tea, floribunda, and grandiflora.
