FLORIBUNDA 

ROSES 

FLORIBUNDA ROSES. 

The word Floribunda is derived from a Latin word meaning ‘many flowered’ or 

‘abundance of flowers’. These roses are described as one of the most colourful 

varieties of the modern roses. Their flowers are generally arranged in large 

clusters and do not grow as tall as Hybrid Teas. The breed is a result of cross 

breeding a Hybrid Tea and a Polyantha in the 1920’s. It is considered by many 

to be better than the Hybrid Tea as it produces many flowers over a large portion 

of the year. They are generally grown for display and not used for cut flowers as 

the stems are usually shorter than the Hybrid Tea. They produce an abundance 

of blooms and colour over many years, and because of this they are considered 

the perfect garden plant.

WHITE DIAMOND (Interamon) 


Masses of sparkling crystal white blooms with shades 

of pink and yellow in clusters. 

The blooms hold their colour well in any weather 

conditions on a strong healthy plant. 

The amount of blooms in full flush have to be seen to 

be believed, so dead heading is a must to keep the 

blooms repeating. 

Flowers right through the season and well into autumn. 

Healthy glossy dark green foliage compliments the 

flowers perfectly. 

A lovely rose to commemorate a Diamond Wedding. 


Lovely scent and a lovely gift for that Very Special Day. 

WHITE GOLD (Cocquiriam) 


This lovely award winning floribunda carries 

blooms of white with touches of yellow and pink, 

plus a very attractive gold centre. 

The flower is many petalled and opens into a 

beautiful form, full and wide. 

It flowers throughout the summer and well into 

the autumn. 

Dead head to promote new blooms . 

A bushy healthy plant with green glossy foliage.

WILD ROVER (Dichirap) 


This new Floribunda is quite spectacular. 

Very large blooms of maroon-purple with a distinctive yellow eye. 

The blooms come in clusters of five or more among large semi glossy 

leaves. 

Although it is classified as a Floribunda it has a very upright habit and 

can be trained as a small climber up to 6-7ft. 

Quite an eye catcher in the garden 

When this comes into bloom at the Plant Centre it causes a few heads 

to turn. 

Has recently won an award for the Best Cluster Flowered Rose at the 

Belfast Rose Trials 2009. 

Sweet spicy perfume. 

YOUR WEDDING DAY 



A lovely new Floribunda for our Special Occasion section.

Repeat flowering throughout the summer and well into the autumn. 

Attractive healthy foliage with excellent disease resistance. 

One of the best white floribundas on the nursery and makes a beautiful lasting memory of that very 

special day. 

Scented. 

Will make a super gift on that very Special Day.
