A rose tree is a groundcover rose that has been grafted and trained into a tree form. They typically grow from 4-6 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide. 

Roses that are grown as tree roses are called rose standards. These rose standards are created by grafting different parts of a rose bush together, so you won’t find them naturally.

These flowering trees are generally grown for a couple of years in the nursery and pruned to shape before being ready to sell.

What Is The Difference Between A Rose Bush And A Rose Tree?

Technically speaking, rose trees were once rose bushes that have since been grafted into a new shape. All of the rose trees that we offer at Perfect Plants can be found in their bush forms depending on if they are Drift Roses or Knock Out Roses. You’ll find that correlating rose trees and bushes have similar beauty and only slightly different care routines.

Are Rose Trees Perennials?

Rose trees are perennials, just like the roses they were created from. In colder areas, they will drop their foliage in the autumn and go through a dormant period before breaking buds in the spring. 

How Big do Rose Trees Get?

Most rose trees grow between 4 and 6 feet tall at maturity. This makes them a great option for both landscape planting and patio containers.

How Long Do Rose Trees Live?

Rose standards developed from old roses–rose species and cultivars in existence before 1867, also sometimes called antique roses, can live to be 50 years old. 

Modern rose varieties and the rose standards they are used to create often live 6 to 10 years.

Rose Tree Care And Maintenance

Best Time To Plant Rose Trees

Plant rose trees in early spring when the danger of frost has passed, just like you would plant a rose bush. Your rose tree will need to be staked at the trunk and up in the crown. 

Use a non-abrasive material that will have a little stretch. Never use wire or rope. The stake will need to remain in place for the life of the standard, as they are pretty top-heavy compared to their relatively small trunk.

Growing Rose Trees In Pots

Rose trees look stunning in pots and can grow quite well, provided the pot is large enough. Clay or terra cotta pots are recommended. Make sure it has good drainage. 

You will need a huge pot, likely the largest one you can find. It should be at least 15 inches in diameter and two feet tall. 

The bigger, the better, not only to provide adequate rooting space for your rose tree but also to provide a counterweight to keep your tree rose from tipping over in the wind. Your container-dwelling rose tree will need to be staked, just as if planted out in the garden.
