Floribunda Roses
As noted in the Polyantha section, the Floribunda roses were developed by crossing certain Polyanthas with Hybrid Teas and other rose species in order to produce roses which provide masses of colour over a long season useful as "bedding" roses. Usually taller than Polyanthas and with larger flowers in huge upright trusses, the Floribundas are easier to grow and seem to us to have greater disease resistance than the Hybrid Tea Roses. (Cold hardiness varies)
Our Favourites: Autumn Sunset, Westerland Scentimental and Hot Cocoa.

"Carol and Tony, Just a note to tell you how much I appreciated your handling of my rose order and the phone calls. They all arrived in excellent conditon, and I am expecially pleased to find that they were considerably more advanced than other 'own root' roses that I have received from elsewhere." Daphne
