Roses have been specifically bred by humans for several thousand years. So it's no wonder that there are seemingly countless varieties today - and every year new varieties come onto the market that seem to surpass everything that came before in terms of beauty, abundance of flowers and fragrance.
Which floribunda rose varieties are particularly recommended?
Popular floribunda rose varieties include 'Gruß an Bayern', 'Tornado', 'Lili Marleen', 'Cordula', 'Escapade', 'Bonica 82', 'Mirato', 'Play Rose', 'The Fairy', 'The Queen Elizabeth Rose', 'Friesia', 'Alba Meidiland' and 'Edelweiss'. These varieties are characterized by flowering, resilience and good winter hardiness.
Flower roses belong especially in the garden bed
Bedding roses with their small, clustered flowers and shrub-like growth are primarily intended for planting in mixed beds. A distinction is made between the following variants:
- Polyantha roses (e.g. the well-known variety 'Orange Triumpf') have large flower umbels but small individual flowers.
- Polyantha hybrids also bloom in clusters, but produce larger individual flowers.
- Floribunda roses are characterized by even larger individual flowers. They are similar to noble roses, but bloom in large clusters.

Tip
Ground cover roses don't really cover the ground, but they remain very low and usually grow slightly overhanging. This makes them very suitable for dense planting of even larger areas.
