Bedding roses are also known as floribunda or polyantha roses. They are very bushy shrubs with umbel-like, rich inflorescences. Most floribunda roses are among the more frequently flowering varieties and thus ensure lush blooms throughout the summer. Many varieties of floribunda roses are also very suitable for smaller gardens.
How do you plant floribunda roses correctly?
To plant bed roses correctly, choose a sunny and airy location, enrich the nutrient-rich and well-drained soil with sand or compost, pay attention to the correct planting distance (40-60 cm) and plant in autumn. Bury the grafting site and water heavily.
Which location should you choose for floribunda roses?
Like all roses, floribunda roses prefer a sunny and airy location, although many varieties even thrive in partially shaded places. However, never plant new bed roses in a location where roses have previously stood.
Which soil do floribunda roses thrive in?
Floor roses prefer nutrient-rich and well-drained soil. Heavy, clay-containing substrates should be enhanced with plenty of sand, while substrates that are too sandy should be enhanced with compost.
When is the best time to plant floribunda roses?
The best time to plant roses is autumn, when the plants have already shed their leaves but the weather is still relatively mild and frost-free. Bare-root goods are generally of higher quality than container goods (€9.00 on Amazon).
At what distance should you plant several bed roses from each other?
The ideal planting distance depends on the vigor of the variety to be planted. Varieties that are rather weak (and therefore tend to remain small) are planted at a distance of 40 centimeters, while those with strong growth are planted at a distance of around 60 centimeters.
What is the best way to plant floribunda roses?
When planting bed roses, three things are particularly important:
- The soil must first be thoroughly loosened - even in depth.
- The grafting site should be buried so that the rootstock does not accidentally grow.
- After planting, the rose should be watered thoroughly.
When do floribunda roses bloom?
Bedding roses are permanent bloomers that often bloom from early summer until the first frost. When buying, give preference to self-cleaning varieties, as this will save you having to remove dead inflorescences.
How can floribunda roses be propagated?
Bedding roses are usually propagated by inoculation, but propagation via cuttings is not always successful.
Can you transplant floribunda roses?
It is also possible to transplant older bed roses, provided this is done in autumn and the roots are affected as little as possible.
Can you also grow floribunda roses in pots?
Most types of floribunda roses can be kept very well in a sufficiently deep and wide (attention - roses are deep-rooted!) pots.
Tip
Bedding roses harmonize very well with perennials and trees that have similar soil and care requirements as themselves - and also do not compete for light and nutrients. On the other hand, the Mediterranean perennials that are often described as typical rose companions, such as lavender, are less suitable.
