The term Floribunda means "flower in abundance” and accurately describes the outstanding 
characteristics of the class. The flowers resemble the Hybrid Teas in form, although they are 
smaller in size. Flowers are borne in graceful bouquet-like clusters and fill the garden with 
bright blooms from spring until fall. 
Besides planting them informally in Rose beds for mass color, they are very much at home 
in front of taller, hardy shrub borders. Then too, the day is here when more Floribundas are 
used for permanent border or hedge planting instead of the more common privet, barberry, 
or perhaps the wild Rosa Multiflora. In the end, Floribundas are cheaper and far more colorful. 
PLANTING DISTANCE: Average 15 to 18 inches. 
HEIGHT: Average 44 to 30 inches. 
PRUNING: Prune lightly to desired height, removing old cluster heads and thin out dead wood.

Granditlora Roses 
The question will be asked ‘‘What is a 
Grandiflora rose?”” A Committee from All- 
America Rose Selections, Inc. was seeking 
a term for a new class of Everblooming roses 
covering awards now and in the future. 
Plants in this new classification must be 
relatively tall, attaining a height of about 5 
or 6 feet, and be extremely vigorous. They 
must be very free-flowering with blooms in 
clusters but with individual stems long 
enough for cutting individually. Flower size 
is not necessarily as large as Hybrid Teas 
but larger than the average Floribunda. At 
times they may produce flowers on individual 
stems. Good examples are the new Grandi- 
flora Queen Elizabeth (page 2), Buccaneer 
(page 4) and Carrousel (on this page). 
It may be said there have been Ever- 
blooming varieties with relatively tall or 
shrubby growth heretofore but up until 
now they were generally termed ‘‘Shrub 
Roses”? for lack of a more suitable term 
whereas we believe the new word Grandi- 
flora will more adequately describe them. 
They should be planted in locations to allow 
for additional height and spread as com- 
pared to the average Hybrid Tea and Flori- 
bunda rose.
