Difference Between Hybrid Tea and Floribunda Roses

Let me show you the difference between a hybrid tea rose and a floribunda: the two most dominant classes of modern roses. Here I'll compare the flowering structure, shape. fragrance and size as well as the overall growing qualities of the shrubs.

The hybrid tea roses are my choice because they can go in my vase and look like they came from a florist shop but actually came from my own garden. I already know the answer to this question but I would like to know about other groups that I haven't heard about before until I found your channel.

[@justinstricklin5248]

This is a great video. I bought 2 Outrageous Floribunda (JACzap) roses from J&P 2 years ago. They are a beautiful orange color. The funny thing is, they check almost every box that you mentioned for a hybrid tea rose and virtually none for the floribundas. It easily grew to 6-7 feet tall with long stems and medium sized solitary flowers. The flowers are very fragrant. It is a repeat bloomer, though not as prolific as others I have. I’m overall very happy with the rose, but the one characteristic of the floribunda that I was expecting, the clusters of flowers, seems to be absent in both of my plants. Thank you for your channel. I always learn a ton from your posts!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Justin. I haven't grown 'Outrageous' but that's interesting to hear. It goes to the point of the interbreeding, and I wonder how they make the final call on the class. It's only declared parent is a floribunda ('Summer Fashion') which is itself 1/2 hybrid tea. We don't know the other parent, but it could also have strong HT lineage, making it no surprise that that offspring could express that side of the family.

[@everettedl]

Nice video. Pretty cool there's an amateur rose on the market like that one. As a side note, floribundas and shrub roses confused me for the longest time. If I'm being completely honest, they still do lol. Every mature bush I see from either class looks basically the same. I'd be interested in seeing how those two compare in your eyes.

[@SmallWonda]

Always helpful, Jason, Thank you - Hope Spring is prevailing! Yes, I get confused about shrub roses - Say you inherit a garden - how in simple terms do you go about 'classifying' your roses? I've got floribunda clear (abundant flowers!) but when things start climbing & the blooms aren't like Bonica or Cecile Brunner, Pierre de Ronsard or Iceberg I get a bit lost...

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Sometimes I even question the value of the rose "classes" because for every rule, there seem to be so many exceptions. It's a matter of what you're going to *use* the classification for: if it's to sort out care requirements (pruning timing & severity) it turns out that the careful observation of the growing and flowering (and how the plant responds to your initial pruning) will give you most of the information you need. If it's to try to narrow the plant down for a specific identification, the class information can be useful, but is so mixed at times that it can also throw you off track. The classifications are just a way, it seems to me, for humans to wrap their minds around the nature of these roses, but nature doesn't always fit into tidy rules or boxes.

[@valjalava1951]

Great video Jason iam doing a small rose garden with maybe 4-5 roses would like fragrance ones is it best to do them in the same color or in a mix of colors

[@dennistaft7868]

This is great info Jason. I have bad news, about 75% of my 60 roses I planted last year look dead. I bought most of them from Tractor Supply and I noticed this year that the same brand Roses are not labeled for Zones. I'm sure that is because they will not survive in Zone 5 but they are selling them here. Well lesson learned, don't buy if not labeled unless you are planting them as annuals.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Agh. Sorry to hear it - and it is a little disappointing that they won't label the hardiness zones. The zone ratings may not be perfect (like you may still need to protect marginal varieties) but it at least gives you some idea where to begin!

I have both floribunda roses and a hybrid tea rose. The iceberg rose is a floribunda and smells great. But when it comes to good smells, my double delight hybrid tea rose floors the iceberg. Hybrid tea roses are usually smell sensational.🙂❤️

[@jillshippy5157]

I love your channel! Thank you for all the information you share. I have shared your channel with several friends. I have an iceberg rose gifted to me & newly planted last year. Now that it is spring it has grown exponentially with a taller strong center cane. Is it possible to prune (at an appropriate time) away the lower stems and turn it into a “standard”? I planted it near the candy tuft that was already in place, not realizing how big the rose would get. Both plants are crowding each other but both seem to be thriving in their spot. If the iceberg rose were shaped into a standard the area would look more pleasing, but I certainly do not want to harm the rose!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Jill. I'm pretty sure you won't cause any harm in trying, but from what I've seen it's pretty hard to maintain a standard shape without it being initially grafted and trained in that form.

[@jillshippy5157]

Oh THANK YOU SO MUCH for replying! I think I had better go with my initial plan which is to cut back the candy tuft in favor of the rose❣️I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your responding with your advise & expertise‼️ I have a rose bush that was planted by the original owners of my house in 1963. Just this past weekend some friends visiting from out of town asked what the name of the rose is.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

It's pretty difficult to exclude entirely - it's in the air, and susceptible varieties will almost always pick up some level of infection during the season. The best you can usually achieve is to start the season relatively clean, and after that, a preventive spray of potassium bicarbonate every week or two on the most susceptible plants can help to reduce severity.

Hi Glenn. When you say witches broom, it makes me think of Rose Rosette Virus. You may want to google some pics to see if it matches what you saw.

Jason...Could you talk about how climbing roses with medium-sized tea flowers in clusters are classified? Sorry for my bad English. I am from Brazil.

No worries. If it's a repeat-bloomer it's most likely to be classified as a modern climber. There are classes like the teas & tea-noisettes that can also have climbing varieties, but unless you know the cultivar it's hard to say for certain.

Thank you, Jason, for the clarification between these two classes. I always thought the Grandiflora 'Queen Elizabeth' to be more a tall version of a floribunda rather than a hybrid tea. What are your thoughts?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

The rose that made the Grandiflora class! I'm sure the American Rose Society agreed with you to some degree, because it was so popular and they wouldn't leave it as a hybrid tea (even though it didn't quite fit the mold of the floribundas). The lines between these classes will, I'm sure, be blurred beyond recognition eventually and will only be useful for historical reference. Seems to me if I were breeding roses I'd follow the path of Ralph Moore, and pick parents from all over the classes (hybrid musks, minis, shrubs, old garden roses, and of course HT's and floribundas) - then leave it to those inclined to sort out my mess and give it a "class"

[@ArtemisToo]

It does not have excessive thorns but just very red. All other areas of the plant look fine. Should I wait for more signs before determining it as rosette disease?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Very red stems are okay - good in fact! That's fresh vigorous growth. You should only be concerned if you see the "witch's broom" effect, or outrageous prickles, or if the red color persists for weeks without the stems ripening to green.

I can't imagine how hard it is waiting for your roses to start flushing and making ready for flowers this time of year. The anticipation must be intense. I've only had my 6 plants barely a month and a half and the wait for each one to flower is killing me.🤪😆😅😂🤣 Actually Don Juan flowered first with 1 flower and hip, Olympiad has given 3 flowers (the third this week), 1 White Honor rose just opened a week ago, and 1 Mr. Lincoln opened this Wednesday. I'm impatiently waiting for Queen Elizabeth and Carabia. Of course mine are all young plants, so the anticipation is more of a confirmation that each plant is what it's label says as well as survival. The good news is that they all look healthy. I think Don Juan is going to develop just fine, that first flower was definitely small, but the hip and stem seem to be doing just fine.

I have two roses. A white one and a red one. That's as far as I went with it. I bought them from a catalogue because they looked nice. I wonder if you have done a video on licencing or restrictions on breeding registered varieties for sale. I know with strawberries and raspberries it can be hugely expensive to buy the rights to reproduce commercial varieties (thing actual millions) and even dearer still to buy a cultivar so you can reproduce it exclusively. I'd be interested to hear what situations you have run into with your own nursery. Cheers for the content as usual.

Thanks Brad. I did a couple of (older) videos on plant patents & naming: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2WTgZ-dbZemnK8 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWq5iKelrq98opY in my nursery I stick to propagating plants outside of the patent period (after 20 years from the introduction date). Within roses anyway, that's a large group. If I'm selling newer plants, I buy them through other growers so that I don't have to manage licensing. For a small backyard nursery, I don't feel I want to take on the extra administration of these licensing agreements/royalties. I have the advantage of working in an area where there a lots of other growers - so it's relatively easy to supplement my assortment with patented varieties from other growers if it makes financial sense.

Sorry Miles - I don't do any grafting, so I'm not sure where you'd get the rootstock.

Jason I remember about the time you first showed your family tree of roses you had that chart for sale, I was re-watching this video today and looked for link in several places on your website but can't find it. I was thinking it was in your STORE section OTHER PRODUCTS but it's not, I also looked on your Amazon store but not there either. Can you direct me to that link please?

Thanks Maggie. It's in the description of the video: www.redbubble.com/i/poster/Cultivated-Rose-Varieties-Chart-by-RoseFarm/

I did a search on there for "Fraser Valley Rose Farm" and was able to find it.
