Think roses are fussy? Not floribundas. Prized for clusters of informal flowers, these landscape roses bloom all season on little care. Growing 3–4+ ft tall with a rounded, bushy habit, they're perfect for hedges and containers. We polled Western rose experts for their top six easiest varieties (shown in the original article).
Buy bare-root in Dec–Jan (early spring in cold climates) or blooming container plants in late spring/summer. Plant in full sun (6+ hours) with fast-draining soil amended with compost. Avoid wetting foliage when watering.
