Floribunda Roses

Welcome to Wingard’s Floribunda Roses

Floribunda is a group of garden roses that was developed to bloom with hybrid tea beauty and color range by crossing hybrid teas with polyantha roses, the latter being derived from crosses between Rosa chinensis and Rosa multiflora.

All floribunda roses are delivered bare root in January, potted and ready for sale/pickup in March. They may be purchased online and picked up in store, and tend to sell out quickly.
