‘Huntington Rose’

 

'Huntington Rose' is not a cutting rose. It doesn't have long stems to fit in a vase. The flowers don't last very long even if used for cutting, but it does bloom fairly constantly through the summer.  It grows as a graceful shrub that has garden presence. Cutting roses grow long stems with a flower at the end, which is perfect for cutting, but frankly not very attractive in the garden. When not in bloom, they are a bunch of prickly sticks. You could, of course, cut the flowers of 'Huntington Rose' and place them in water in the house. You just wouldn't cut them with long stems, and you would not expect the display to last very long.
