F loribunda Roses (Large-flowered Polyanthas) 
All of these Roses are 75 cts. each, unless otherwise noted, less quantity discount on page 9 
RACTICALLY all of the varieties under this head- 
ing may be considered in the new classification 
called Floribunda Roses. 
The Floribunda class, therefore, includes new as well 
as old varieties of large-flowered or Hybrid Polyanthas, 
and possibly a few Hybrid Teas. They are all very easy 


The word “Floribunda” is used to refer to bush Roses 
producing clusters of blooms without interruption from 
early summer until late frosts. They were formerly re- 
ferred to as “bedding Roses” for mass color effect rather 
than for specimen blooms.
