FOR YOUR GARDEN 



Floribunda Roses are a fairly recent invention, 

 started as a cross between Hybrid Teas and small- 

 flowered cluster Roses called Polyanthas or "baby 

 ramblers." These Floribundas proved to be hardy, 

 easy to grow and, best of all, super-abundant in quan- 

 tity of bloom, from spring to frost. Now, by crossing 

 Floribundas with other Hybrid Teas, hybridizers have 

 recently been able to make amazing strides toward 

 adding more fine colors and different types of blooms, 

 increasing the fragrance, and the new varieties seem 

 to give even more bloom than the old! 



Here are two new ones that were introduced last 

 year that are especially outstanding. In fact, these two 

 are going to be hard to improve on, because they have 

 just about everything that is wanted most. 



• POULSEN'S BEDDER. This is the finest new pink 

 Floribunda of them all. Very free flowering, it has 

 masses of big, lightly ruffled blooms of clear, rich, 

 clean pink, from bud to fully open blooms. The open 

 flowers get lighter as they age, but they always keep 

 that appealing look of bright, gay, young freshness, 

 never grayed or dingy-looking. They are also wonder- 

 fully long lasting, even in midsummer heat. The hardy 

 plants are strong, upright and even in growth, about 

 3 feet tall and sturdily resistant to disease. $1.50 ea.; 

 3 or more, $1.30 ea.; 25 or more, $1.20 ea. 



• VOGUE. Plant Pat. 926. This is the 1952 Floribunda 

 /jSaSx All-America award winner and a popular new 

 £Jjffl?J color: a rich coral-rose. It is a sister of the 



^&sr famous Fashion Rose and shows it in its coral 

 coloring, but Vogue is a deeper and bolder shade, with 

 more red in it. Blooms are also more double, beauti- 

 fully formed, unusually fragrant and on a splendid 

 plant. $2.25 ea.; 3 or more, $2 ea.; 25 or more, 

 $1.80 ea. 



• Poulsen's Bedder 



Floribunda Roses are happy flowers: a gardener's dream plant 

 for almost any spot. They bloom in clusters, a whole bouquet on 

 every stem, artfully arranged by Nature to make a most effective 

 show. Long lasting on the bush or as cut flowers, they are showy 

 from a considerable distance and charming at close range. 



Why Not Try Floribunda Roses? 



There are a number of overworked shrubs that 

 are used monotonously across the fronts of houses, 

 along paths, for hedges along the streets. Why not 

 try Floribundas around your house? They are 

 different; they now come in a wonderful range of 

 colors, and they bloom from late spring to freezing 

 weather. What other hardy plant can give you so 

 much color for so long a time? 



Plant them where they can be seen from 

 your windows or from the street. Plant them 

 in front of non-spreading shrubs or ever- 

 greens, with perennials, or other Roses. 

 They are best in groups and are plants that 

 no garden should lack.
