Grade #1 Roses
Grade #1 is the highest-quality grade given to a rose bush. It’s a more mature plant, and it’s more resistant to the strains of planting.
The above-ground branches (called "canes") are more numerous and thicker on Grade #1 rose bushes. That means your rose will have more blooms and a lower risk of having canes dry out before or after planting. Because the root system is more mature, it’s more resistant to stress during planting.
Why buy a Grade #1 Rose?
- More and bigger canes (branches)
- More blooms (due to more branches)
- More vigorous, resistant to the strains of planting
- Wide variety to choose from
