Colorful Floribundas 



Floribundas 

 are such profuse- 

 blooming plants 

 that they are being 

 used more and more 

 like other flowering 

 shrubs. You need 

 not have a special 

 rose garden for them. If 

 you like, use them with evergreens 

 and other plants. Just be sure 

 they will have at least half a day 

 of sunshine and that their roots 

 will not be robbed of food and 

 moisture by large trees. 



Many Floribundas have flowers 

 as large and well shaped as Hybrid 

 Teas, so you can cut them for use 

 indoors. And because they bloom 

 so freely, there will still be plenty 

 of color left on the bushes. 



Floribunda. (Poulscn.) Plant Pat. 7919. This is a 

 'u' gay, utterly charming rose with blooms borne in 

 clusters of 5 to 12. One cluster will flash a whole rainbow of 

 colors — a yellow, an orange, a strawberry-red, a pale pink 

 flower, all at once, in diff'erent stages of development. The 

 blooms have 30 to 35 petals and open to a diameter of 2 to 

 2}^ inches. They are very long lasting, with a light but spicy 

 scent. A very vigorous, medium height plant. Strong in both 

 growth and color, Rumba makes a fine hedge. 

 $3 ea. — 3 or more, S2.65 ea. 



Floribunda. (Boerner.) Plant Pat. 13.57. Not 

 only at its first blooming period btit repeatedly 

 all summer long Spartan is covered %vith bright clear deep 

 coral blooms. They are as well formed as any Hybrid Tea — 

 each a perfect gem 3 to 3}^ inches across. Flowers are borne 

 both several to a stem and singly and are ideal for dainty 

 arrangements. Fragrance is extra good for a Floribunda. The 

 plant is tall and strong, with glossy foliage. If you have room 

 for only a few Floribundas, make sure one of them is Spartan.
