Floribunda roses are noble, abundantly flowering plants, the beauty of which can not convey any description. This variety is obtained by crossing hybrid-polyanthous, nutmeg and hybrid tea varieties.

Reproduction: planting and rooting cuttings
You can propagate the roses by grafting or cutting. However, the best way for Floribunda is reproduction by cuttings.
Other flowers in the garden are propagated by cuttings: plumeria, brugmansia, chrysanthemum, clematis.
Cherenkovat need in the period when the shoots become stiff. To do this, cut the 8-centimeter cuttings, and it should be remembered that the cut from the top should be straight, and the bottom - at an angle of 45 degrees.
The hole for the seedling should be 15 cm in diameter, and the distance between the holes - 20-30 cm. On the one hand, the recess should be vertical, because only in this case the plant will turn out slender and erect. The cutting is half placed in the ground and covered with foil. Until the cuttings take root, they must be watered regularly, loosened the ground, fed and "given to breathe" (remove the film). For the winter, the cuttings are covered.
Important! The first buds need to be cut off - they prevent the root system from developing.Planted in a permanent place can be in 3 years.
Floribunda Rose Planting: Preparing Pits and Soil for Planting Seedlings
This species loves rich in organic matter, well-drained soil. Only with a sufficient amount of mineral components, Floribunda roses develop greater vegetation and set up more generative buds.
Basically, Floribunda - unpretentious variety that quickly takes root. The main rule: the vaccination site should be buried 3 cm into the soil.
Before transplanting Floribunda, it is necessary to prepare the soil. To do this, take a bucket of sand, peat and humus and add 0.5 buckets of fine clay, some superphosphate fertilizers and bone meal. All this is poured into a pit prepared for planting. After planting, it is necessary to water the ground well and cover the soil with sawdust to retain moisture. 
When planting roses, you need to keep a distance. Otherwise, the number of flowers on each bush will decrease and the likelihood of the development of fungal infections will increase.
Since this variety loves the sun and fresh air, the landing area must be sunny and protected from cold winds. The best time to plant is spring.
Features of Floribunda Roses Care
All known Floribunda rose varieties need good lighting, and this must be taken into account when planting and caring for them.

A large amount of green causes a strong evaporation of moisture, and as a result - the loss of water. Therefore, the soil around the bush is desirable to mulch. This will not only preserve moisture, but also stop the growth of weeds.
It is necessary to water Floribund regularly, as the soil dries out. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the substrate is not over-humidified. 
Important! We can not allow stagnant moisture and water on the buds and flowers.
How to conduct dressing

Almost all types of roses require pruning. And Floribunda is no exception. Some of her varieties need to be cut stronger, while others will be fairly simple and even weak haircuts.
Thanks to pruning such positive points are achieved:

If the shoots are weak, they leave only 1-2 healthy buds. 
Important! With a strong pruning roses bloom in July-August, with a weak - in May-June.The best is considered pruning, in which the branches remain 4-7 healthy buds. Summer pruning helps to prolong flowering.
How to cover for the winter
