﻿Because 
  some 
  of 
  you 
  may 
  not 
  know 
  what 
  a 
  Grandiflora 
  rose 
  is, 
  

   and 
  the 
  difference 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  a 
  Hybrid 
  Tea 
  or 
  a 
  Floribunda, 
  it 
  

   is 
  in 
  order 
  to 
  describe 
  this 
  relatively 
  new 
  classification 
  of 
  roses 
  here. 
  

   A 
  Grandiflora 
  combines 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  qualities 
  or 
  characteristics 
  of 
  

   both 
  the 
  Hybrid 
  Tea 
  and 
  the 
  Floribunda. 
  It 
  has, 
  for 
  instance, 
  the 
  

   larger 
  flower. 
  size 
  and 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  Hybrid 
  Tea, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  

   time 
  the 
  Floribunda 
  characteristic 
  of 
  producing 
  flowers 
  in 
  great 
  

   numbers, 
  often 
  in 
  clusters 
  or 
  in 
  candelabras 
  [that 
  is, 
  with 
  several 
  

   blooms 
  to 
  the 
  stem 
  . 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  this, 
  the 
  Grandiflora 
  usually 
  

   inclines 
  to 
  tallness, 
  and 
  is, 
  therefore, 
  a 
  fine 
  rose 
  for 
  the 
  back 
  row 
  

   or 
  by 
  itself 
  or 
  with 
  other 
  Grandifloras. 
  The 
  varieties 
  we 
  grow 
  and 
  

   list 
  here 
  are 
  in 
  our 
  opinion 
  the 
  best 
  of 
  those 
  so 
  far 
  developed 
  — 
  as 
  to 
  

   color, 
  growing 
  characteristics 
  and 
  general 
  quality. 
  They 
  will 
  give 
  

   to 
  the 
  gardener 
  a 
  great 
  wealth 
  of 
  flowers 
  and 
  many 
  years 
  of 
  garden- 
  

   ing 
  satisfaction. 
  We 
  recommend 
  them 
  highly.

  A 
  currant-red 
  

   beauty

  far 
  higher 
  appeal
