Floribundas are stiff, bushy, upright shrub roses characterised by clusters of flowers borne repeatedly throughout summer and autumn.
Sizes of floribunda roses vary from compact and low growing patio roses with an eventual height of 30-60cm, ideal for the front of a border or small patio container, to taller varieties growing up to 1.5-1.8m (5-6 feet) which are well suited to using as a flowering hedge.
Disease Resistance – Floribunda roses are generally more disease resistant than hybrid tea roses, making them easier to grow. Disease resistance of more modern varieties tends to be superior to older varieties.
Dos
Floribunda roses are relatively low-maintenance plants that can thrive with regular watering and rich soil.
