First, color will play a large part in your rose type selection. From the traditional red to beautiful yellow roses, you have a lot of choices and depending on your flower garden, you may want to mix and match a few different types.

Secondly, you will want to consider the height that the roses will grow to. You will want to consider the height of your current garden and ensure that if the roses do grow higher than your existing plants, that you can fit them in as a part of the background. Some roses may grow as high as 20 feet and this should be considered prior to making your purchase.

If you live in an area where cold winters are an issue, then you will want a hardy type that will be able to survive during the winter months. The roses will not bloom, but the plant itself needs to be able to survive the cold.

There are advantages and disadvantages to different types of roses. You will want to learn what these are as they pertain to the types of roses that you may be choosing for inclusion in your garden.

The amount of space that you have available in your garden is certainly a concern as well. Roses need proper exposure to air as well as sunlight and rain. If you are going to be including roses in your home flower arrangements you will need a type that will not fall apart once it is cut. Hybrid teas are great for flower arrangements and are to be considered if you intend to use the roses throughout your home.

Roses need a specific type of environment. Other flowers may damage their special ecosystem and you certainly want to consider what types of flowers you already have when choosing the types of roses you are going to include.
