How to Identify a Rose
Three quick steps to an instant, AI-powered identification.
Photograph an open bloom straight on plus the foliage and the plant's overall form. Bud shape and petal count help too.
Our AI reads petal form and count, color, growth habit, and leaves, comparing against rose classes from hybrid teas to climbers.
Receive the likely rose class and similar varieties, with basic pruning and care guidance for that type.
Other Ways to Identify a Rose
Petal Count & Bloom Form
The number of petals and whether blooms are single, cupped, or quartered separates rose classes and many varieties.
Growth Habit
Bush, shrub, climber, or groundcover growth is a quick way to narrow which class a rose belongs to.
Rose Societies
Local and national rose societies can identify heirloom and show varieties from clear bloom and foliage photos.
