There is nothing more delightful than a backyard rose garden, and there are so many roses to choose from, from dainty to robust.

However, with so many varieties, it’s often confusing to understand their differences and know which ones are suitable for your area and growing style. We compiled some rose plant information to help narrow your search for the perfect backyard garden.
