The large-flowered clematis divided clematis are divided into several groups according to their parentage. These groups are Florida, flowering mainly in early and mid-summer; Jackmanii, flowering mainly in late summer and early fall; Lanuginosa, flowering at different times between mid-summer and the early fall; Patens, flowering mainly in early to mid-summer; Texensis, flowering mainly from late summer to mid-fall and Viticella, also flowering mainly from late summer to mid-fall.
An alpine clematis (Clematis alpina) now climbs up the rock face on a diagonal; a perfect clump of broom (Cytisus x praecox 'Luteus') flows over the edge at the far right of the semicircle; and some smaller Japanese hosta (Hosta Nakaiana) grows along the outside base, sheltered from the afternoon sun.
BUSH ROSES usually form the main part of a rose garden. The term refers to Hybrid Teas (correctly known as large-flowered clematis divided roses) and Floribundas (correctly known as Cluster-flowered roses).
Hybrid Teas produce the largest and most beautifully formed blooms of all and they have a color range that lacks only blue and deep black. They are also highly scented, but their greatest glory comes from their ability to produce continuous crops of flowers from early summer to mid-winter. Where they grow in the garden is best decided by you. Grow them in a group on their own or in a mixed border.
Floribundas have clusters of flowers which look much more informal than Hybrid Teas. For impact, they are best grown in beds of one type although they can also be placed in mixed borders.
