Floribunda Roses Serve Many- 

 Purposes Formally and Informally 



Floribunda Roses arc 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 arc borne 

 profusely in clusters arc 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.

 1758. The color of this rose is gorgeously displayed from 

 beautiful deep red pointed buds through profuse blooms of the 

 glamorous brilliant orange-red, much brighter than the picture here 

 shows. The unusually long-lasting blooms have perfect form . . . fully 

 double, neat-looking flowers of 45 to 50 petals forming 2 1 2 to 3-inch blooms. 

 They come regularly in heavy-laden clusters, but with stems long enough 

 for excellent cutting. The plant grows in fine, lusty, upright style with 

 strong vigor. Foliage is unusually beautiful — a deep, dark, rich green. 

 Fire King always looks great in the garden; spectacular as a hedge.

[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 graceful 

 yellow blooms literally covering the entire plant. Bloom comes occasion- 

 ally 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.
