ARCTIC (hardy) Especially Bred for 
Mass Planting 
FLORIBUNDA is a group of Roses especially bred for mass plant¬ 
ing. They were formerly unclassed or misclassed as Hybrid Teas or 
Hybrid Polyanthas. The varieties of this group are noted for their 
permanence, continuity of bloom, and ease of culture. Their habit 
of growth is bushy, similar to a medium-height Hybrid Tea. The 
plants are winter-hardy, therefore permanent, and bloom continu¬ 
ously in numerous clusters. Flowers are fairly large, vary from 
single to full double, and include the entire range of colors of Roses. 
A distinctive feature is the long-lastingness of the flowers in all 
weathers. It is a group, not a strain, because the varieties are derived 
from various arctic species or sources. Where known their flowers 
are popular for home decorations as they are more lasting than 
most other Roses. 
These varieties should be planted closely—about 14 inches apart 
-—in large groups, masses, or borders of one color, so they will 
blanket the ground and the foliage will be almost hidden by the 
blooms. For color display, they are most effective and more per¬ 
manent than the tender geranium and other foliage plants.
