These hardy, healthy Rose 

 plants that bloom in clusters are 

 jumping in popularity. In step 

 with this are the great strides 

 the breeders are making in im- 

 proved varieties. The color range 

 is being enormously widened, 

 many variations of bud and 

 flower form are being added, 

 bloom size is being increased, 

 and the new varieties seem to 

 give even more bloom! 



Floribundas are especially pleasing 

 when they are planted where they can be 

 seen from the street, or from the mam 

 windows of your house. They are best in 

 groups, and also combine well with other 

 Roses, with evergreens, or any shrubs.

 ^^^ blooms are bright coral-peach, a most amazing color
