Rosary

In the Botanic garden rosary you can see more than 300 cultivars most suitable to Latvian climate, from eight different cultivar groups:

  • Floribunda roses;
  • Shrub roses;
  • Hybrid rugosa roses;
  • Climbing roses;
  • Polyantha roses;
  • Ground covering roses;
  • Miniature roses;
  • Hybrid tea roses.

There are more than 30,000 rose cultivars known in the world, and every year many new ones are registered. Most of them can’t be found in Latvia, because our climate is not suitable for them. But, the common number of rose cultivars grown in Latvia is near to two thousand.
