Floribunda

A floribunda rose is a hybrid rose that produces clusters of flowers, often in profuse, showy displays. They are generally hardier and more disease-resistant than hybrid tea roses, making them a popular choice for gardens. Floribundas bridge the gap between hybrid teas (known for their singular, elegant blooms) and polyantha roses (known for their large clusters of small flowers), combining desirable traits from both. The word 'floribunda' comes from the Latin 'floribundus' meaning 'abounding in flowers'. These roses bloom repeatedly throughout the season, offering continuous color and visual interest.
