Rose Parade 
>) Floribunda. (Williams.) Everything you want a 
83° Floribunda to be, and the only Floribunda to win an 
All-America Award for 1975. These free-blooming, vig- 
orous, beautifully mounded plants are covered with 
dancing, medium pink buds that open to bright lively 
pink, fully double blooms up to 4 inches across. 
Buds are plump and short but have surprisingly good 
form. As many as 55 satin-soft petals form a camellia- 
perfect flower of unusual delicacy. Blooms are borne in 
eye-catching clusters like a feathery pink cloud. A light 
fragrance adds a touch of class to this sparkling 
Floribunda. 
Vigorous growth brings continuous bloom all summer 
long. Freely branched, mounded plants are as broad as 
they are tall and are covered with good, medium to dark 
green foliage. That rugged, disease-free look tells you 
“here’s the plant that will give years of beauty and satis- 
faction.” Brand-new and sure to please, Rose Parade 
lives up to its name. Plant Pat. 3065. 
$3.90 ea.—3 or more, $3.65 ea. 
Europeana 
2) Floribunda. (G. de Ruiter.) For a spring and 
* summer spectacular, plant Europeana, the best red 
Floribunda. Words like massive, colossal, spectacular, 
terrific are used to describe it. This is a heavy-blooming 
plant producing huge sprays of satiny red flowers, as 
many as 20 in each compact cluster. Petals are beau- 
tifully ruffled, forming a neat bloom as velvety as plush. 
Just one spray is a bouquet in itself, easily lasting over a 
week in water. 
Thrifty and quite low growing with healthy foliage. 
Magnificent in its first flush of June bloom, and when 
hot weather comes there is no let-up. Early foliage is soft 
mahogany-red, slowly turning rich dark green. A favor- 
ite at rose shows. Plant Pat. 2540. 
$3.75 ea.—3 or more, $3.50 ea.

ROSE PARADE 
THE WORD “FLORIBUNDA” 
These bushy plants, overflowing with bloom, are great 
garden favorites. Colorful is the word for them. Hybridizers 
have bent their efforts toward better colors, larger flowers, 
improved flower form. 
So many kinds have been used as parents that there are 
now great differences among the Floribundas. Europeana, 
for example, has huge heads of bloom, while Spartan’s flow- 
ers are more perfectly shaped and borne only three or four 
in a cluster. Whatever your desire, there’s a Floribunda to 
satisfy it. 

Redgold (not illustrated) 
?) Floribunda. (Dickson.) At first chrome-yellow, the buds 
*turn darker as they open, to a glowing orange-gold. 
Petals are edged brick-red, which later becomes deeper ma- 
genta. Flowers are moderately double with light fragrance. 
Eight-inch stems, some bearing only one flower and others 
clusters. 
A splendid Floribunda that you will find most attractive 
and colorful in any planting. Plant Pat. 3006.
