WYANT Blue-Blood ROSES— 1943 

This new classification, the Floribunda Roses, was originally treated 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. For 
best results in the yard do not try to get all the kinds but use several of the same kind. The single 
and semi-double varieties are fine cut-flower material. Illustrated on page 23. 

Betty Prior 
Betty Prior. Plant Patent 340. Strikingly two-tone, 
the outside of the petals a dark carmine and the 
inside silvery pink. The blossoms are single and are 
very showy interspersed from top to bottom with 
abundant foliage. Plant is of medium height, 
branchy and well shaped, 18 to 20 inches. 85c. 
Dagmar Spath. Clusters of medium-sized pure white 
blossoms with golden centers make this an alluring 
variety. Free bloomer, medium height, about 18 
inches. $1.00. 
Donald Prior. Plant Patent 377. The brightest of the 
Floribundas. Blooms are semi-double, bright scarlet 
and freely produced on a 20-inch plant. They are 
about the same size but much brighter than Kirsten 
Poulsen and the bush is a lower grower. 85c. 
Else Poulsen. A good tall grower that is a fine match 
for Kirsten Poulsen. The single blossoms are about 
2 inches diameter, two-tone, pink and silvery pink. 
They come quite continuously in flat racemes. 85c. 
Gruss an Aachen. This variety has blossoms as large 
and double as Hybrid Teas. They are flesh-pink and 
borne in clusters. 1 ft. 85c. 
Improved Lafayette. Such a great improvement over 
Lafayette that it is difficult to see the resemblance. 
This is a taller grower (3 feet) with larger blossoms 
(about 3 inches) and a deeper red. A profuse bloomer. 
85C. : 
Kirsten Poulsen. Single, broad, 2-inch light red 
blossoms. The bush is one of the tallest Polyanthas 
(about 3 feet). One of the most continuous and 
finest bloomers. 85c. 
Margy. A large reddish globular shaped blossom. The 
bush is a compact low grower. 85c. 
Mrs. R. M. Finch. A large grower with big double, 
shell-pink blooms, freely produced in great clusters. 
Many times during the Summer a row of these looks 
from a distance like a bank of snow. The buds are 
often used by florists for corsage purposes. Grows 
21% to 3 feet high. 85c. 
Permanent Wave. Plant Patent 107. The name fits 
the Rose. The petals are fluted or waved from the 
bud stage to the finish. The 2-inch, deep rosy pink 
blossoms are in great clusters. Plant attains about 
3 feet in height and the new growth has striking 
bronzy foliage. 85c. 
Pink Lafayette. Like Lafayette in all except the color 
of the 214-inch blossoms which is a good rose-pink. 
85c. 
Pinocchio. Plant Patent 484. The last word in dainty 
and profuse blooming Floribundas, with long pointed 
buds of the most exquisite salmon flushed with gold at 
the base. The fragrant blooms, like miniature Hybrid 
Teas open to a soft, clear pink which gradually deep- 
ens toward the edges of the petals. The plants which 
grow between 20 and 24 inches high are extremely 
hardy and very disease-resistant. Each $1.25. 
Smiles. Plant Patent 331. Soft salmon-pink masses of 
3-inch cupped flowers are produced abundantly on 
medium-height plants. 85c. 
Snowbank. Plant Patent 279. The glistening white 
blossoms are large and when open show beautiful 
golden centers. Strong, bushy growth, 18 inches.
