Requirements for rose plants propagated by any method. Excludes roses grown purely for indoor use.

This Part of BS 3936 specifies requirements for rose plants that are sold for transplanting and growth for amenity purposes.

The following types of rose plants (which may be in pots or tubs for outdoor use) are specified, irrespective of the method of propagation:

  1. bush and shrub roses;
  2. climbing, rambler and pillar roses;
  3. standard, half-standard and weeping standard roses;
  4. dwarf roses;
  5. miniature roses;
  6. low-growing floribunda roses (patio roses);
  7. ground cover roses.

NOTE Because of the natural variability of the plants and because the list of available varieties is constantly changing, this British Standard cannot include a list of varieties corresponding to each type.

Roses grown purely for indoor use, e.g. houseplants, are outside the scope of this standard.
