FLORIBUNDA

                               

 

A Dane by the name of Paulsen created the first floribunda. Floribundas are a result of the early Polypompons and Dwarf Polyanthas, crossed with Hybrid teas.  They make nice borders and hedges with abundant clusters of blooms on short shrubs.

Nearly Wild 1 & 2:A Minnesotan recommended this floribunda for anyone in cold climates.  She said it tolerates her -30*F winters.  That was all the information I needed! It has single pink blooms with yellow stamens and an open growth habit.
