The gorgeous floriferous Floribunda Rose, prolific and fully petalled, these beloved Rose Garden standards have been a fan favorite for hundreds of years!
The Floribunda Rose is a cross between Hybrid Tea and Polyantha Roses (which were originally Climbing Roses). The goal was to create a Rose that bloomed with Polyantha profusion and with the Hybrid Tea Rose color range! The resulting Floribunda retains the best of both parents!
The Floribunda shrub Rose produces single stems of many flowers, slightly smaller than Hybrid Tea Rose blooms, but borne in profuse Polyantha clusters! Often opening all at the same time. One stem can be a bouquet in itself!
Floribunda Roses smell divine! With an astounding array of scents from citrusy to damask, sweet and subtle. You’ll love their perfume on a warm summer morning!
With a wide range of sizes, colors, and forms to choose from, there is sure to be a Floribunda Rose bush for you!

Successfully Growing & Caring For Floribunda Roses
Floribunda Roses are easy to grow and reward you with season-long beauty. Like most Roses, they do have thorns to protect their blooms, but their charm more than makes up for it.
Where to Plant: Choose a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sun each day. Morning light is especially valuable to dry off dew quickly, and good air circulation helps keep foliage healthy. Always check your Hardiness Zone to match the best varieties for your region.
Pruning: Trim lightly in early spring as new growth appears. Cut stems back to 8-12 inches to encourage branching and remove any winter dieback. For more details, see our guide on Rose pruning and Rose tree care.
Winter Care: In zones 7 and colder, protect Floribundas by mounding crowns with mulch after frost arrives:
- Clear away fallen leaves for sanitation
- Cage or mound mulch over crowns for insulation
- Remove extra mulch in spring once new growth begins
Deadheading & Blooming: Floribundas are repeat bloomers! Regular deadheading encourages flowers all summer into fall. Snip extra stems to enjoy as indoor bouquets.
Feeding & Mulching:
- Fertilize in early spring and again lightly in late spring
- Apply 3-4 inches of arborist mulch and compost to keep roots cool, moist, and nourished
Climbing Varieties: While most Floribundas remain compact shrubs, many have graceful arching canes that cascade beautifully. The one true Floribunda climber is the Iceberg Climbing Rose, with supple canes reaching 12–14 feet.
