POLYANTHAS 
The Polyantha or Baby Rambler Roses bloom almost continuously throughout the season. 
They have clusters of flowers like the Climbing Ramblers but are low growing, mostly about 18 inches 
in height. The Polyanthas are very foolproof. They require little or no Winter protection and are 
quite free from disease. Their popularity is increasing rapidly on account of their mass of bloom and 
many uses. A clump of three or more should generally be used instead of single specimens to get 
the maximum effect. 
The larger-flowered varieties are listed together under Floribunda.

FLORIBUNDA 
This new classification, the Floribunda Roses, was originally classed under the Polyanthas, but 
they are quite distinct because they have larger blossoms. They are advanced hybrids of the Poly¬ 
anthas and bloom equally as much, usually in large clusters and like them give a mass effect.
