  • Unlike hybrid teas that produce one bloom per stem, floribunda bush roses produce large clusters of flowers simultaneously.
  • The name floribunda literally means 'many-flowering' in Latin, perfectly describing their prolific bloom habit.
  • Bush roses produce edible rose hips rich in vitamin C, containing up to 50 times more vitamin C than oranges by weight.
