what were polyantha Roses?

A Parent Of The Floribundas

Polyantha or polyantha pom- pon roses were the premier cluster- flowered roses of the first half of the twentieth century. They had large clusters of very small blooms and went out of fashion due to the popularity of the floribunda Roses.
They were crossed with hybrid teas to produce the floribundas that superseded them. Their main drawback was that the first blooms did not open till July.
Some of the more compact polyanthas have had a renaissance in recent years as patio roses.
