SUNSHINE IS ONE OF THE MOST FRAGRANT OF ALL ROSES 
SMALL-FLOWERED 
W HILE it is not always possible to draw a sharp 
line when classifying Large- and Small-flowered 
Polyanthas, still there is enough difference so 
they may be grouped separately. The individual 
flowers in this class are smaller, though very often the 
clusters are as large as Floribundas; heights in general 
are lower so these make good edging plants or low mass 
POLYANTHA ROSES 
plantings. All Polyanthas are as nearly everblooming 
as Roses can be. They live and bloom year after year 
with comparatively little attention. 
Planting Distance: Average 15 inches. 
Height: Average 15 to 18 inches. 
Pruning: Prune lightly to desired height, removing 
old cluster heads and thin out dead wood. 
All of these Roses are 75 cts. each, unless otherwise noted, less quantity discount on page 24

formed flowers, paling with age. Graceful sprays, moderate 
growth, and continuous bloom.
