floribunda rose

Floribunda roses require consistent and abundant watering for best growth and flowering. Water the roses deeply once or twice a week, depending on the climate they are growing in. During the summer months, when temperatures are high, water the roses every other day or more if the soil appears to be drying out. In the winter, when temperatures are cooler, reduce watering to once a week. If the roses are planted in containers, water them more frequently to prevent the soil from drying out too quickly. Always check the soil moisture levels before watering the roses to avoid over-watering.

The Floribunda Rose (Rosa 'Wekplapic' BETTY BOOP) is a hardy rose that thrives in full sun or partial shade. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, but more sunlight is beneficial to encourage blooming. As this variety of rose is winter-hardy, it can survive in cold climates and can stay in direct sunlight for 8 or more hours in the summertime, depending on the location. Most days in the spring and summer, the Floribunda Rose requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to bloom its full set of flowers. It is best suited in a location where it is exposed to direct sunlight in the morning and indirect sunlight in mid-day or afternoon.

Floribunda roses should be pruned each year in late winter or early spring (February or March), before the buds begin to swell with new growth. Pruning encourages healthy and vigorous growth and helps promote better flower production. To prune, begin by removing any dead or diseased canes. Then identify and remove any weak, overly thin canes. Deadheading, or removing faded flowers, should be done throughout the season as needed. Reduce the top of the shrub by a third, making sure to thin out some of the centers so that air and light can come in. Trim back the sides of the bush, making sure to avoid giving it a rounded shape. Finally, remove suckers growing from the base and prune away any other growth that is overcrowding the shrub. Generally, all of this should result in only light regular pruning.
