Floribunda roses are a hardy type with large, showy flowers. These roses need less care than many other rosebushes and grow in a shorter, bushier shape. Their compact form and good tolerance for a wide range of growing conditions make these roses an excellent choice for container growing.

Floribunda roses will grow in a wide range of containers, including traditional pots and tubs, hanging baskets and troughs. Any container will work as long as it provides good drainage, has a wide base and is large enough to allow the roses to develop their roots correctly. Smaller floribundas grow well in 10 gallon pots, while larger specimens need up to 15 gallons. Use plastic, terracotta, wood or glazed ceramic, but don't place a saucer under the pot to catch water overflow, as this can encourage root rot.
