(lower right) Floribunda. (Fisher.) Plant Pat. 2576. From 

 rich butter-yellow buds, large, double flowers open to a 

 bright, sunny yellow. Blooms are often up to 5 inches across, fully as 

 large as many Hybrid Teas. Flowers are borne in great profusion, the 

 the graceful yellow blooms literally covering the entire plant. Bloom 

 comes occasionally singly to the stem, but more frequently in clusters on 

 medium long stems. The plant is of good vigor, growing rather upright 

 but at the same time mound-shaped to middle height and is covered with 

 light green foliage of medium size that sets off the abundant bloom. 



$2.50 ea.— 3 or more, $2.20 ea. 



Floribunda Roses Serve Many- 

 Purposes Formally and Informally 



Floribunda Roses are really the "Jack of all Trades" of the 

 rose garden. They bear flowers that are individually attrac- 

 tive but in such great quantity that each bush is a colorful 

 garden display all season long. The flowers which are borne 

 profusely in clusters are usually cup-shaped to partially flat. Plants are 

 vigorous, medium to low growing and quite hardy. Color and fragrance 

 range is essentially the same as that of the Hybrid Teas. 



The tremendous show of color and compact habit make Floribunda 

 roses extremely versatile . . . use them in the rose garden, singly or in 

 groups of 3 or more as accent plants or have a really spectacular display 

 by using them in a hedge or border. Today's modern Floribunda is truly 

 a value in beauty. Floribundas are easy to grow and maintain. And with 

 the improved flower form of today's Floribundas, giving them more of the 

 classic "Tea" shape, they are bound to gain in popularity every year.
