Everblooming Cluster Roses of Distinction 
Formerly classed as Polyantha Roses or Baby Ramblers 
Under this heading we are listing a collection of free-blooming bedding Roses of types formerly classed as Polyanthas, 
Tea-Polyanthas, Hybrid Teas, and Baby Ramblers. 
There are indications that certain of these varieties with large, double flowers, such as Gruss an Aachen, Pink Gruss an 
Aachen and White Aachen, are to be the basis of a new class to be known as Floribunda, but until this plan for classification 
has been more fully developed we prefer to use the above heading and include under it the splendid varieties of everblooming 
bush Roses that to all intents and purposes represent a natural group. This group can best be described as one “comprising 
Roses of more or less compact bush form and truly amazing for their abundant and consistent bloom, their lovely color, and 
pleasing flower form, and their general hardiness and freedom from diseases and pests that prove so troublesome to many of 
the Hybrid Teas.” Brighten your garden by planting these charming little everblooming bush Roses. You will be delighted 
with them. They will become your friends and you will become theirs. 
Except where otherwise noted, dormant plants of these Bush Roses are 75c each; potted plants, $1.00 each. Three or more plants 
shipped at one time to one address: Dormant plants, 65c each; potted, 90c each
