Polyantha or Baby 

 Rambler Roses 



Never grow more than 18 inches tall but 

 ore loaded with flowers every year from June 

 until frost. 



These beautiful Roses provide a wealth of 

 bloom from June until frost, and are perfect 

 for "facing" larger shrubs, since they supply 

 color at a time when most varieties of shrubs 

 are out of bloom. They are among the hardi- 

 est of all Roses.
