FLORIBUNDA—A New Class 
Floribunda is a group especially bred for mass planting and 
garden decoration. The habit of growth is similar to Hybrid 
Tea, medium height, but they are winter hardy, therefore 
permanent and bloom continuously in numerous clusters. 
The flowers are fairly large, from single to very double an 
include the entire range of colors known in Roses. A distinctive 
feature is the long Iastingness of the flowers by all weather, 
even the hottest sun which wilts Hybrid Teas so quickly. 
It is a group, not a strain, because these Roses are derived 
from various Arctic species or sources. The flowers are also 
very useful for centerpieces and house decoration, more lasting 
than any other Rose. 
The Rose is pre-eminently a garden flower and this new 
group brings it more closely to the perennial status in garden 
ornamentation; permanence, continuity of bloom and ease 
of culture. 
These varieties produce the best effects when planted closely, 
14 or 15 inches apart, in large groups, masses or borders of one 
color, they will blanket the ground and the foliage will be 
almost hidden by the blooms. For color display, they are 
more effective than Geraniums or any bedding plant and 
more permanent. 
These varieties were formerly classed among Hybrid Teas 
or Hybrid Polyanthus but are now segregated in this new class.
