These four new Polyantha Roses are ideal for mass planting. 

 Though the flowers are produced in the greatest abundance 

 the individual blooms also are of fine large size. 



18-411 Cheerio 



(Kordes, 1940.) Superb in every respect— a Rose of out- 

 standing merit whether used for mass planting in beds or 

 borders or to give an individual accent here or there in the 

 garden. You will be most favorably impressed by the super- 

 abundance of the brilliant double flowers borne in massive 

 yet gracefully arranged flower clusters. The flower petals are 

 clear mallow pink shading to tyrian rose at the base with the 

 reverse or outside a luminous rose-madder that creates an 

 effective color balance.

 petal edges.

 great masses of urn-shaped buds opening to well-rounded

 the display. Vigorous and free blooming.
