Floribunda roses are no less popular than hybrid tea: they were classified into a separate group in 1976 as an intermediate link between roses of other classes. Floribunda rose bushes can have very different heights – from 40 cm to one and a half meters, and many representatives of Rosaceae can envy the richness of the colors of these flowers. Despite a fair number of varieties, breeding work is still ongoing.
Floribunda rose bushes: group description
Foribunda roses are sometimes called hybrid-polyanthus roses. They have all colors of hybrid tea roses. These roses bloom very profusely and for a long time. They were first obtained by the Danish originator Paulsen in 1924.
Flowers of varying degrees of doubleness (10-25 petals), collected in inflorescences of 10-30 pieces, in many varieties they are close in shape to hybrid tea (goblet), and in others – cupped or flat, persistent, bright juicy color. Some varieties are aromatic. The bushes are compact, densely leafed.
Certain varieties of floribunda roses have golden yellow tones, hardness and glossiness of leaves, characteristic of Pernetsian roses, which also participated in the selection. This group of roses is distinguished by stronger growth (80-100 cm) and larger flowers (4-6 cm in diameter). Flowers are collected in small inflorescences at the ends of the shoots. The flowering is profuse and almost continuous until frost.
Most varieties are distinguished by high winter hardiness and disease resistance, successful propagation by grafting and cuttings, are indispensable in the flower decoration of a garden or a backyard, suburban area.
Some varieties are used for forcing, cutting and group planting. Below you can find a description of the different varieties of floribunda roses.
