Modern Roses
In Lyon, in 1867, rosebreeder Jean-Baptiste Guillot, created the first contemporary rose wich we find in our gardens today. It was a climbing hybrid, produced from the hybridization of old roses (tea roses) and Chinese roses (climbing hybrids). It was naturally called "France". This was a landmark in the history of rose-growing. Before this date, roses are called "ancient" in France, and after this date they are considered "modern".
