| Hello! I'm a novice gardener and recently moved to Norway, and happily discovered there are roses budding in the garden! I wanted to find out what kind they were just so I could read up on proper care of them, though they seem to be doing fine as is, but knowledge never hurt anyone, right? Here's a link to a picture of them. Anything other info you might need, just let me know, and thanks in advance!

| It could be a floribunda rose in that it blooms all season and in clusters. Perhaps it is a semi-double flower (not a lot of petals). I link to a floribunda in that color range. If all the canes are green colored, this means they are young and the rose had all its top growth killed or injured by winter--in that case it may need severe pruning in early spring next year. Hardened canes of floribundas may be injured at around -15 Celsius. But who knows, this may be a hardier kind. Fertilize when it leafs out next year and come here if there are foliar disease problems. |

| Welcome to the forum and the world of roses. People from northern zones may chime in here and know exactly what you have. Pictures of the entire bush and an open flower would help. Otherwise, unless it seems to be a very old bush, I would start by asking at the local nurseries, since most people purchase most of their plants locally. As Michael said, it is probably a Floribunda--multiple flowers on one branch. It should be mulched over the winter (commercial mulch or let dead leaves accumulate under it). Roses are pruned in spring--when the forysthia blooms here, or mid-season daffodils. |
