FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
This new classification of roses included those that were formally listed as 
hybrid teas and hybrid polyanthas. They comprise the large flowering polyanthas 
and the low compact growing hybrid teas. They are selected for their hardiness 
and their continual blooming qualities. There is a definite place in the garden 
for these roses, such as mass plantings along driveways, walks, etc. Floribundas 
come in a wide range of colors and are fast becoming popular as they produce 
a mass color effect over a long period of time.

yellow at the base of the petals. A continuous bloomer and fragrant.

white. The open flower, which is three inches in diameter, is very double and 
attractive, resembling a gardenia. Flowers are borne singly or as many as 
four on a stem. A compact, clean disease resistant plant; very floriferous. The 
best white floribunda to my knowledge.
