“Tne BEST*IN ROSES” pA 
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. 
CECILE BRUNNER (Polyantha) $ .60 
The sweetheart rose. Buds small, beautifully formed. Flowers light pink with 
yellow at the base of the petals. A continuous bloomer and fragrant. 
DAINTY MAID (LeGrice 1940) $1.00 
Dainty Maid, a single, has the appearance of a wild rose. It is about two 
inches in diameter and is produced in small clusters. Color is rose pink. Plant 
is a very strong grower and profuse bloomer. 
GARTENDIREKTOR OTTO LINNE (Lambert 1934) $ .60 
Distinctly different from other polyanthas. The plant sends up long new canes, 
2 to 3 ft., blooming first in large clusters on top, then sending out side 
branches which bloom on down nearly to the ground. Color dark carmine 
pink. Foliage abundant, glossy and practically free of mildew. 

ORANGE CECILE BRUNNER $ .60 
This lovely little rose is the same as the pink Cecile Brunner except in color. 
ORANGE TRIUMPH (Kordes 1937) $ .60 

This is one of the finest polyantha roses we have seen. The salmon red blooms 
with orange shadings come in large clusters and are produced profusely 
throughout the season. The glossy green foliage is practically free of disease. 
PINK GRUSS AN AACHEN $ .60 
A very double salmon pink floribunda. Flowers about three inches in diameter; 
slightly fragrant. Blooms all season. Plant is low and bushy with fine disease 
resistant foliage. 
ROSENELFE (Kordes 1937) $ .60 
Rosenelfe is a new large flowering polyantha of deep pink with fine form. 
Excellent as a boutonnier rose. A vigorous upright grower and profuse 
bloomer. 
SNOWBIRD (Marion Hatton 1935) e275 
Of all the lovely little white roses, we think Snowbird is the best. The buds 
are beautifully formed, sweetly fragrant, creamy white in bud, opening to pure 
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. 
SUNSHINE $ .60 
A very lovely dwarf polyantha (1% ft.) that is at its best in a cool climate. 
Flowers are small, double, of a golden orange, borne in clusters. Sunshine 
is a continuous bloomer, with foliage free from mildew. Moderately fragrant. 
WORLD’S FAIR (Kordes 1938)
