What is a floribunda rose?
Floribunda roses are produced by crossing Hybrid Tea roses and Polyantha roses. They are mostly smaller and more bushier than Hybrid Tea roses and more upright than Polyanthas. Robust and disease resistant, Floribunda roses are known for producing clusters of flowers over a long season.

Caring for Floribunda Roses
Floribunda roses are relatively easy to care for, making them a joy to grow. Here are some tips to ensure your roses thrive:
- Planting: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Space plants about 18–24 inches apart to allow for air circulation.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Water deeply at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal issues.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced rose fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Mulch around the base with compost or bark to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring, cutting back to outward-facing buds. Remove dead or diseased wood and spent flowers to encourage fresh blooms.
- Pest Control: Keep an eye out for common rose pests like aphids and spider mites. Use organic sprays or companion planting methods to manage infestations.
