Floribundas were produced by crossing between Hybrid Teas and Polyantha Roses. Floribundas have multiple flowers on each stem and more free, perpetual flowering. The earliest Floribundas were produced in 1924.
Floribunda roses are ideal for borders or containers. They provide an almost constant show of color, and bloom more freely than hybrid teas and grandifloras. They are lower growing and hardy in zones 4-9 (with proper protection). Floribundas are distinguished from Hybrid Teas because they bear their flowers in large, dense clusters with many blooms opening simultaneously in each cluster. The flowers tend to be less perfect than those of Hybrid Teas and fewer floribundas are scented. However, they are generally more vigorous and tolerant than Hybrid Teas.
