Roses are one of the oldest known ornamental plants and are still the most popular. They were cultivated in ancient times for their pleasant smell, beauty, and essential oils. Today we differentiate among 140 and 180 botanical rose species, numerous hybrids, and cultivars. Due to a large number and variation of roses, the plants can be classified according to the type of flower, the frequency of flowering, the shape of the flowers, etc. Some of the best-known groups of roses are rose bushes, large-flowered, multi-flowered, atrium roses, polyanthus roses, dwarf roses, covering, rambling, and climbing roses. In the thesis, we will present the factors influencing the growth and development of roses. Factors such as temperature, light, s location and site affect the growth, development and quality of roses. If the factors are optimal, the roses will bloom for a longer period and more intensely. Light intensity is the most important factor affecting the growth and flowering of roses. Changes in flowering, quality, shoot formation and petal coloration occur when light intensity and duration of the light period are reduced due to seasonal changes. Due to very low and high temperatures, which are closely related to humidity and wind, knowledge on different rose varieties is important, as not all are resistant. Roses from each group are planted at different planting distances, because the size of mature plants differs. Proper supply of soil with micro- and macro-nutrients, and timely and correct pruning affect the growth and health of roses.
