Floribunda roses offer a bouquet on every branch. The small flowers look like elegant, hybrid-tea blooms, but appear in clusters instead of one flower per stem. Floribundas are a cross between polyantha species roses and hybrid teas, combining hardiness, free flowering, and showy, usually fragrant blooms. Sizes of these hardy roses vary from compact and low growing to a more open habit and heights of 5 and 6 feet, ideal for tall hedges. The foliage on floribunda roses tends to shrug off diseases, making for a low-maintenance rose that delivers maximum impact with its continuous bloom cycles. Generally, floribundas require very little spring pruning, just a removal of dead or damaged wood.
