The following information on the classification of roses is taken from the Gardens By The Bay website. - 👉 Source
Standard Roses
Standard roses have a single tall stem, topped with leaves and flowers, like a small tree. Hence, they are sometimes known as tree roses. Created by budding at least two shrubs on a stem, they can look quite dramatic, and are ideal for bringing focus to key parts of the garden. They can also be used to define pathways, frame doorways or dress up bare walls. Standards are also useful for adding height to a border or planter bed.
Shrub Roses
Shrub roses are mostly a result of crossing old-rose types with modern roses, and come in a wide variety of sizes, colours, growth habits and fragrances. Tough and hardy, many can be relied upon to bloom repeatedly and generously from summer to autumn and usually to the first frosts. Shrub roses have an open and spreading shape, with flowers that are single, semi-double or fully double, with their beauty coming mostly from their massed effect.
Miniature Roses
Perfectly scaled, smaller versions of larger roses, miniature roses have all the colours, forms, substance and often, fragrance of full-sized roses. They can reach between 15 and 120 centimetres in height, and have a bushy, compact, climbing or cascading shape. Miniature roses are just as attractive as their larger counterparts, and in most cases, easier to grow.
