# What Kind of Rose Bushes Bloom in the Fall?
Roses have been cultivated for thousands of years, likely beginning in China. In the late 1700s, repeat-blooming roses were introduced into Europe from China. Breeding programs ultimately resulted in many of the modern roses grown today. Continuous-blooming roses will produce a fall flush, flowering until the first frost, which is often as floriferous as the first flush of spring. An intensifying or softening of bloom color in the cooler air and changing light sometimes occurs.

Hybrid Tea Roses
-
Hybrid tea roses are good for cutting. Hybrid tea roses result from crossing hybrid perpetual with tea roses from China. Hybrid teas are bred to bloom continuously and are often called everblooming roses. The classically shaped blossoms are carried singly on long stems, making for lovely cut-flower arrangements. Double Delight has blossoms of intense fragrance, white with a red edging. Yves Piaget is medium to deep pink, with a strong fragrance. Madonna is deep red with velvety petals on long stems. Memorial Day displays fragrant lilac-pink blooms on a medium-height plant.
Floribunda Roses
-
Floribunda roses bloom in clusters. Floribunda roses are the result of crossing polyantha roses with hybrid teas. Blooming in clusters on compact plants throughout the season until the first frost, floribunda roses are very effective in massed displays or as a low hedge lining a walkway. Sheila’s Perfume is a very fragrant orange-and-yellow-blend rose. Sexy Rexy is a prolific bloomer in medium pink. Royal Wedding produces bright apricot, intensely fragrant blooms through fall, on a compact plant. Angel Face is outstandingly fragrant with purple, ruffled flowers edged in red. Anisley Dickson is an award-winning floribunda producing an abundance of salmon-pink blooms throughout the season, on a compact plant.
Climbing and Shrub Roses
-
Bantry Bay is a climbing rose that will produce a fall flush. Climbing roses that will bloom in the fall include Abraham Darby, a coppery-pink rose with large, fully double blossoms of strong fragrance. Bantry Bay flowers in clusters of pink blossoms on 12-foot canes. Compassion displays fragrant, apricot-pink flowers on 8-foot canes. Aloha, introduced in 1949, produces abundance of large, pink blossoms with a strong, old rose fragrance on a plant 10 feet tall. Crown Princess Margareta blooms fragrantly in golden-apricot on a 4- to 6-foot plant. Golden Celebration has deep yellow, strongly scented blossoms on a 5-foot shrub. To encourage fall blooming, keep roses properly fed and watered throughout the growing season.
Mini-Flora and Miniature Roses
-
Many miniature roses bloom continuously from spring through fall. Mini-flora roses are a new class recognized by the American Rose Society in 1999. Mini-flora roses are larger in plant and bloom size than a miniature, and smaller than floribundas. Mini-flora and miniature roses are generally free blooming, easy-to-grow plants. Mini-floras include Flawless with fragrant, dusty-pink flowers of classic form. Overnight Scentsation has fragrant, medium-pink blossoms, and Moonlight Scentsation has fragrant white flowers tinged with pink. Award-winning miniature roses that enjoy continuous bloom are Cupcake, a warm, light pink; Magic Carrousel, white edged in pink; and Rise ‘N’ Shine, with bright yellow blooms.
