Floribunda Roses

Floribunda roses are the breeder's attempt to combine the prolific flowering and carefree constitution of the best polyanthas with the many rich colors and nice forms of the hybrid tea roses. One might argue that we are still far short of realizing that goal, but a lot of good roses have been produced along the way; and one or two of them managed to come close enough to the goal to be considered a success even by its lofty ambitions. Sexy Rexy, a truly exceptional floribunda, does meet the specification if we allow the the blossoms to be a little different from the ideal high centered buds. At the other end of the spectrum is Day Breaker which produces nice, high centered blossoms on a low, well branched plant - sort of like a hybrid tea rose plant that is on its best behavior so it might fit into the garden. Pictured is Geisha, a rose unique for its silky pink petals that open to reveal lovely contrasting red stamens; it probebly deserves more attention. Playboy, Playgirl, Angel Face, and Iceberg have been immensely popular for decades and for good reason; they look great in the garden. That's what floribundas do best.
