I´ve bought two unnamed roses (first two pictures) that do not have leaves
similar to the usual hybrid teas in the garden (one of them is in the third picture).
Are they a "shrub rose"? These are not very common where I live, so I wonder
if they are newcomers?

The third one is , in fact, red! But I have yellow and orange hybrid teas whose
leaves are all red like this, and not bronze like those I recently bought.
Roses don't all have the same leaves, some are red when young, some bronze, some green, some quite big, others smaller, some tough looking (like Rosa Rugosa), some looking tender. New leaves don't look the same as old leaves either.
That´s the point. Roses are hybrids from many species, and it seems that
traditional hybrid tea roses all have young red leaves. So my new ones are
NOT hybrid teas, but hybrids of another sort (knows not what).
