I was wondering if you could send me information about Floribunda roses. I’m doing a research paper.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a large selection of books on roses here in the Elisabeth C.
\nMiller Library. You are welcome to come in and browse as well as borrow

The Seattle Rose Society says the following about Floribunda roses:
\nFloribunda roses combine the best aspects of their parent plants: the
\nHybrid Tea rose and Polyantha rose. They receive their flower form and
\nfoliage from the Hybrid Tea while taking after the Polyantha in increased
\nhardiness and exuberance of blooms. This link<\/a> is to their lists of recommended roses for the Puget Sound region, including the best Floribundas.<\/p>\n

Here are additional links which may be useful.<\/p>\n

Most of our books have at least a little information on Floribundas, but
\nnone is specifically and exclusively about them. I recommend The
\nCompanion to Roses<\/em> by John Fisher (Salem House, 1987) for history of rose
\nclassification, and Jeff Cox’s Landscape with Roses<\/em> (Taunton Press, 2002)
\nfor practical ideas on using roses in the garden, and recommendations of
\nspecific Floribundas which do well. Cox says that Floribundas are the
\nbest of the Modern roses for most landscaping situations because of their
\nhardiness, free-flowering habit, bushy form, and flowering season. They
\nwork well both as specimen plants and in combination with other flowers
\nand shrubs in beds and borders. Most grow 2-4 feet tall, and are dense
\nenough to be used as hedge plants. Varieties range from single,
\nsemi-double, to double flowers. Some are fragrant. Specific varieties
\nmentioned by Cox are ‘Gruss an Aachen,’ ‘Iceberg,’ ‘Queen Elizabeth,’
\n‘Marmalade Skies,’ ‘Showbiz,’ ‘Betty Prior,’ ‘Escapade,’ ‘Nearly Wild,’
\n‘Lilac Charm,’ ‘Europeana,’ ‘Sunsprite,’ and ‘Apricot Nectar.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
