The Classic shrubs are the Hybrid Kordesii, Hybrid Musk, Hybrid Moyesii, and Hybrid Rugosas. They are identified in your Handbook for Selecting Roses or your Official List with the abbreviations for those classes - HKor, HMsk, HMoy, and HRg. The remaining shrubs are all shown in those references with just the symbol S. They are the Modern shrubs.

The two classes should be separated in the show schedule and in their placement on the tables, so finding the Modern shrub class shouldn't be that difficult. They will likely include a bunch of Austin roses and a smattering of others. As you judge each new cultivar you can look it up in your reference to see that it has the "S" symbol after the name and not one of the Classic shrub indicators (or even an OGR class indicator or climber class indicator). Don't fret, I'm sure you will do fine.

Kokosrose,

The following is a supplement up to date list of roses as of (10-19-04) that were registered, and with corrections after the 2004 “AEN” and the 2005 Handbook were published. For a complete list of all Modern Shrub and Classic shrub roses prior to the publication of the 2004 AEN, download from this Garden Web forum the following. The “2004 Classic Shrub Rose List” posted 5-15-04, and the “2004 Modern Shrub Rose List” posted 5-14-04. The AEN or Handbook is not complete or up to date as you can see by some of the latest entries. If you have any problem, I can always e-mail you a copy. Good luck.

Ron S.
