Old garden roses were popular prior to the 20th century. A true Old Garden Rose predates 1867 (the year that La France, the first Hybrid Tea, was introduced). These are generally tough, durable shrubs that have stood the test of time; many are considerably more fragrant than their modern counterparts. Most (but not all) are once blooming, and would be used in the landscape similar to a Lilac or Hydrangea. They often grow quite large, but can tolerate severe pruning every few years to maintain lower growth.
