POLYANTHA ROSES 
W ITHIN recent years, so many improvements have been made in 
this class that many of the varieties no longer resemble the old 
Baby Ramblers and we have been forced to subdivide this class. 
The small-flowered varieties may be used for low edgings and mass 
plantings; the large-flowered varieties for hedges and large mass effects. 
Both kinds are indispensable where constant summer bloom is required 
in the garden. One may choose heights of 1 to 4 feet in an unlimited 
range of colors with the assurance that they will outflower all other Rose 
types with less care and attention. 
In this class will also be found what have recently been publicized as 
“Floribunda Roses.” They are mainly strong-growing super-Polyanthas 
and these we have indicated by a dot (•). 
Planting Distance.: Average 15 inches. Dwarf types, 12 inches. 
Strong growers, 18 inches. 
Height: Average 24 inches. Dwarf types, 12 to 18 inches. Strong 
growers, 30 to 40 inches. 
Pruning: For average and dwarf types prune lightly and thin out 
dead wood. Strong growers may be cut back to 4 to 6 eyes.
