GAY PRINCESS 



Floribunda. (Poulsen.) Plant Pat. 1919. 

 ffl/Z/f/Z/ff/ This is a gay, utterly charming rose with 

 blooms borne in clusters of 5 to 12. It's a good Flori- 

 bunda to plant as a hedge. The bush is very free grow- 

 ing and vigorous, reaching about 3 feet in height, with 

 abundant foliage resistant to disease. Flowers are a 

 flash of colors — a yellow, an orange, a strawberry-red, 

 a pale pink will be shown all at one time in a cluster. 

 Each bloom is about 2 to 2}^ inches across, solid and 

 double, with 30 to 35 petals. There's a light but spicy 

 fragrance. These rainbow flowers are long lasting and 

 freely produced, and a row of the plants as a border 

 is a bright and cheerful sight. No reason why you 

 can't cut the blooms too, for a gay bouquet indoors. 

 Rumba is a production of the Poulsens of Denmark, 

 who have originated many fine Floribundas. It can 

 serve a most useful purpose where a multicolored, 

 medium height Floribunda is \vanted — especially as a 

 hedge.

More Wonderful Floribundas 



Floribunda. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 2763. A lovely soft 

 pink Floribunda — fine enough to win an All-America 

 Award. The flowers are more like those of a Hybrid Tea, for they are 

 ^ unusually large and well shaped. The creamy shell-pink color, although 

 soft and delicate, holds well, making this an exquisite rose for cutting as well 

 as for the garden. And there are plenty of the flowers to cut. The plant 

 blooms freely all season, regardless of the weather. Growth is average in 

 height but bushy and quite vigorous, with decorative green foliage to set off 

 the flowers. Gay Princess is an excellent addition to the large-flowered Flori- 

 bundas, with beautiful color, good form and vigor.

Floribunda. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 



1672. Lavender roses are becoming more and more 

 popular . . . and Lavender Girl is one of the best. Its luscious rosy lavender 

 color is rich and deep, and its lasting quality is very good even in summer 

 heat. Buds are ruby-red, pointed, on sturdy stems. The spicy-scented blooms 

 reach as much as 3^ inches in width, with 35 to 40 petals to give them sub- 

 stance and form. They are delightful for cutting. The plant is low and 

 bushy, with excellent dark green foliage to accent the color of the blooms. 

 The different shades on a bush at one time are extremely pretty, from th*e 

 reddish color of the buds to the lavender of the open flowers. If you have not 

 yet become acquainted with the lavender roses, this one will be a fine intro- 

 duction to them.

Floribunda. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 1357. A glorious Flori- 

 mda — and how it blooms! We have counted as many as 90 

 flowers at a time on one plant. And not only at its first blooming period but 

 repeatedly all summer long Spartan is covered with bright clear deep coral 

 blooms. They are as well formed as any Hybrid Tea — each a perfect gem 

 3 to 3} -9 inches across. Flowers are borne both several to a stem and singly. 

 Spartan never goes on a midsummer vacation. It keeps right on blooming 

 through the heat and humidity, and the flowers that come then are often 

 carried only one to a stem. These are perfect for cutting, and you can easily 

 have a whole bowlful from just one plant. Fragrance makes them extra 

 welcome indoors. The plant is tall and strong, reaching 23^ to 3 feet in 

 height, with smallish, glossy leaves. If you have room for only a few Flori- 

 bundas, make sure one of them is Spartan. We consider this to be one of 

 the very best achievements of the late Gene Boerner.
