Floribunda

  · Roses crossed with polyanthas with hybrid teas to create that bloomed with the polyantha but with hybrid tea floral beauty and colour range.  · These Roses have a larger, more shapely flower and hybrid-tea like growth habits separated these new roses from polyanthas and hybrid teas alike, a new class was created and named Floribunda, Latin meaning for “many flowers.”  · More typical floribundas feature stiff shrubs, smaller and bushier than the average hybrid tea but less dense and sprawling than the average polyantha.  · The flowers are often a bit smaller but have a bigger bouquet giving a better floral effect.  · Floribundas are found in all hybrid tea colours and with the classic hybrid tea shaped blossom.  · Floribundas are used in large bedding schemes in public parks and larger areas to give that fulfilling aspect. > >    <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Written by Ross L.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Rose Floribundas are ideal for fragrant flowers and single classic blooms. Use floribunda roses for landscape planting with masses of garden colour.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Rose Floribundas can be either the familiar bush or standard. Standard roses are the same as bush roses except they are grown on a tall stem high above the surrounding shrubs and bushes.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Plant in semi-shade or full sun.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Give ample space to each rose and for bush roses - which can be classed as small, medium and large; the space between each rose should be: small 2ft., medium 2.5ft., and 3ft for the larger bushes.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Plant in a large hole with the stem-graft just below the surface of the soil. Water well during any dry season and feed regularly.
