Floribundas are Modern bush roses that mass produce their flowers in clusters of three to six per stem.
They erupt into a sheet of colour in June and flower almost without taking a breath until October.

They range between patio sizes around 60cm tall, and a hedge-worthy 2m, so they can be used to plump up most parts of a border.

Floribundas are mostly intended to be enjoyed on the bush: it is not that they are bad cut flowers, but other roses like Hybrid Teas are so much better!

FAQs

Floribunda ("flowering-freely") rose breeding began around the turn of the century by crossing hybrid teas, which have one flower per stem, with polyantha roses, which have clusters.

Generally speaking, Floribundas are most impressive in the garden, and Hybrid Teas make the best cutting flowers for your vases.

Which Floribunda Roses Should I Choose?

The best small floribunda roses (under one metre) for the front of the border and for growing in pots are:

English Miss (Pale Pink)
Moment in Time (Red)
Fascination (Mid Pink)
Many Happy Returns (Pale Pink - White)
Iceberg - bush form (White)

The best tall floribunda roses (over one metre) for the middle or back of the border and for planting as ornamental hedges are:

Arthur Bell (Yellow)
L'Aimant (Pink)
Absolutely Fabulous (Yellow)
Margaret Merril (White)
Champagne Moment (White)
Hot Chocolate (Deep Red)

The name Floribunda was coined in 1930 by Dr. J.N. Nicolas of Jackson & Perkins in the USA; if you have been learning about growing roses via YouTube videos for more than about five minutes, you will know of Jackson & Perkins through their vivacious presenter, rosarian Paul Zimmerman (if you haven't heard of him yet, you have now!).

Where Can I Grow Floribunda Roses?

You can grow floribunda roses in any sunny, well drained location, and the smaller varieties are great for growing in containers - most patio roses and standard stem roses are either floribundas or bred from them.

Because they flower so hard, they are not suitable for shady areas.

Rose Replant Disease

Replant disease affects several plants, especially roses and other plants in the Rosacea family.
It occurs when you remove an old rose, and plant a new rose straight away in the same soil.

There are three main ways to avoid rose replant disease:

The easiest way: plant a different shrub!
The easy way: wait at least a full 12 months before planting a new rose in the site of an old one.
Grow some annual bedding plants there instead for the interim - annual Sweet Peas are great because their roots fix nitrogen, but any mix of wild flowers is good.
The hard way: dig out a block of soil at least 1 metre square on the surface and 40-50cm deep, and replace the soil with fresh stuff. Lining the sides of the hole with thick, plain (not glossy) cardboard may help.

Whichever method you choose, apply Rootgrow fungi when you replant the new rose, and feed it with rose food during the growing season.

When and How Do I Prune Floribunda Roses?

Pruning:

The best time to cut back your floribunda rose is in winter, when the leaves have fallen.

First, as with pruning any shrub, remove the DDD wood: Dead, Diseased, or Damaged (which includes crossing stems that are rubbing against each other).

If the plant is congested, cut out some of the oldest stems from the centre.

Then, cut every stem down to about 12 inches, 30cm, from its base.

Next, use secateurs to shorten the weakest, spindliest shoots down to about 3 inches, 5-10cm, or remove them entirely if they look really bad.

When your floribunda has been established for a couple of years, remove some of the oldest stems (i.e. at least three years old) each year, as the best flowering is from shoots on one and two-year-old wood.

Deadheading:

Floribunda roses bloom continuously all summer, and you should deadhead the spent clusters as soon as the flowers begin to fade by cutting back the stem to the first set of five leaves, to encourage the best re-flowering.
