The cross section of the process $e^+e^-to pi^+pi^-pi^0$ was measured in the Spherical Neutral Detector experiment at the VEPP-2M collider in the energy region $sqrt[]{s} = 980 div 1380$ MeV. The measured cross section, together with the $e^+e^-to pi^+pi^-pi^0$ and $omegapi^+pi^-$ cross sections obtained in other experiments, was analyzed in the framework of the generalized vector meson dominance model. It was found that the experimental data can be described by a sum of $omega$, $phi$ mesons and two $omega^prime$ and $omega^{primeprime}$ resonances contributions, with masses $m_{omega^prime}sim 1490$,$m_{omega^{primeprime}}sim 1790$ MeV and widths $Gamma_{omega^prime}sim 1210$, $Gamma_{omega^{primeprime}}sim 560$ MeV. The analysis of the $pi^+pi^-$ invariant mass spectra in the energy region $sqrt[]{s}$ from 1100 to 1380 MeV has shown that for their descriptionone should take into account the $e^+e^-toomegapi^0topi^+pi^-pi^0$ mechanism also. The phase between the amplitudes corresponding to the $e^+e^-toomegapi$ and $e^+e^-torhopi$ intermediate states was measured for the first time. The value of the phase is close to zero and depends on energy.
