LANDSCAPING PLANS 



These extra bushy, extra free 

 flowering, extra useful roses look 

 well in many locations ... as a 

 low border or tall hedge (depend- 

 ing on the kind), edging a walk or 

 driveway, as a friendly fence. They 

 should be chosen and planted like 

 any other flowering shrub. Com- 

 bine them with your other roses, or 

 put them to work primarily to liven 

 up your landscaping . . . you 

 can't go wrong with Floribundas. 



These are easy-going plants that 

 perform well all through the grow- 

 ing season. Many have beautifully 

 formed flowers — all have plentiful, 

 colorful ones . . . "flowers in 

 abundance," as the name Flori- 

 bunda proclaims. Buy good plants, 

 treat them fairly and they will 

 thrive for years.

A 



SUNSPOT 



Floribunda. (Fisher.) Plant Pat. 2576. 

 In our opinion Sunspot is the best yellow 

 Floribunda to date. Both its size and its 

 color are extra good. 



Rich butter-yellow buds slightly tinged 

 orange turn a bright, sunny yellow as 

 they open. These are fully double flow- 

 ers often up to 5 inches across — as large 

 and attractive as many Hybrid Teas and 

 with a light, fruity fragrance. The grace- 

 ful yellow blooms literally blanket the 

 entire plant. 



The bush grows rather upright but 

 mound shaped, with light green leaves. 

 Fine for massing and border planting. 

 $3.25 ea. — 3 or more, $3 ea. 



GENE BOERNER 



/^S^ Floribunda. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 

 ^le- s 2885. Pretty as can be — each plant 

 a bouquet of pink.. Dainty pointed buds 

 of deep rose color become clear soft pink 

 flowers with a deeper pink center, their 

 satiny petals gracefully rolled at the edge. 

 They are borne in clusters of 7 to 9 on 

 strong stems and are slightly fragrant. 



An erect, bushy grower often over 33^ 

 feet high, well branched and fully 

 covered with bright green leaves. Blooms 

 in profusion and is a nice rose to cut for 

 informal arrangements. Makes a fine 

 hedge. The buds and blooms in various 

 stages of opening are a delightful sight. 

 $3.50 ea. — 3 or more, $3.20 ea.
