RE: hum.... who grows tree roses and tree hibiscus

I'm not a big rose person either, Donna, but I would guess it probably stand
for Floribunda (free flowering rather than blooming just once during the
season.)  It does show a "growing zone" to zone 5, but I'm not sure whether
that is equivalent to "hardy to" zone 5.  I wonder if you could e-mail the
second site to get more info, Donna.  It couldn't hurt to ask.  

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

well I did find a tag on one of them- it is called playboy. Can't find much
about it on the net although I really didn't spend much time.

Another site listed it classification as a FL - not being a rose person, I
have no idea what that means.
