FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Generally speaking, this group of roses is small flowered, but like the Azaleas, there are a lot of 
them. The popular Cecile Brunner is one extreme while Connie Mack and Floradora are more 
showy because the flowers are in good size clusters. Beds of Floribundas are very bright and 
showy. The dwarfer ones make fine borders for the rose gardens, or plant in groups of three 
or more to enliven the shrubbery. Ideal for flower arrangements and bouquets. In general, the 
Polyantha roses are very similar to Floribundas, and they are included in this group without 
special identification. L—Low; M—Medium; H—High.
