POLYANTHA ROSES 
Polyanthas are a group of Roses, dwarf and bushy in habit of growth, constantly blooming in masses 
or clusters of flowers. 
They are very effective in solid beds, for borders and for general mass effect, and are used extensively 
in all large gardens and parks, as they add color all year. They are ideal for a dividing-line between 
properties. As they are especially hardy, they need very little winter protection and are easy to grow. 
Most of the old Polyanthas were small-flowered. A group of new varieties now on the market 
are large-flowered and consequently create startling and amazing color effects, especially if planted 
in beds of solid varieties. This new group is called ‘‘Floribunda Roses.
