Old Garden Roses are any of the rose varieties that were recognized and celebrated prior to 1867, the year inwhich the first modern flower was introduced. The name of this flower is the hybrid tea. The major classes of Old Garden Roses include: bourbons, noisetteportlands,species,centifolias,albas,chinas,damasks,h ybridperpetuals, moss roses, gallicas, and teas. Although some of these roses are native to the United States, the majority are from Europe and Asia. The roses that are often referred to as "Old Fashioned," or "Antique Roses," have actually served as the predecessors to some of the most beautiful modern hybrids.
