Floribundas as Landscape 

 Plants 



Don't be afraid to plant Floribunda 

 roses as you would any other flowering 

 shrub. They do well as a low border or a 

 taller hedge (depending on the kind), as an 

 edging for a driveway, or as a facer for a wall or 

 fence. Of course, they may also be used in beds or as 

 individual specimens. 



Floribundas are very free-blooming, easy-going plants. 

 The blooms arc seldom as large as Hybrid Teas but many 

 arc just as well shaped. Usually they come in clusters, large 

 or small. Look on them as a long-term investment in 

 beauty, for that's what they are. Buy good plants, treat 

 them fairly, and they will bloom for years.

 /&& can be — each plant a bouquet of pink.

 high, well branched and fully covered with bright 

 green foliage. Blooms in profusion and is a nice 

 rose to cut for informal arrangements. A fitting 

 memorial for E. S. (Gene) Boerner, who created 

 so many good roses.
