POLYANTHA and FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Polyantha are the small roses usually produced in clusters and commonly 
called “Baby Roses”. Floribunda is a new classification of the larger flowering 
varieties of the polyanthas. They are most effectively used in mass plantings 
along driveways, walls or for border planting, etc. Floribundas come in a wide 
range of colors and produce a mass of color over a long period of time. All of 
those listed below are quite free of disease. 
FLORADORA See page 7 
ORANGE TRIUMPH $1.00 
‘While we like this rose very much, we do believe it is misnamed in that it is far 
more red than orange, although there is an orange cast in the red. The small 
semi-double roses are borne in large clusters on strong stems throughout the 
season. The heavy green foliage is fairly free of disease. Growth about three 
feet. 
PERLE D’OR $1.00 
This polyantha is the same as Cecile Brunner except in color, which is salmon 
buff. A low grower and fragrant. 
PINK GRUSS AN AACHEN $1.00 
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. 
PINOCCHIO See page 10 
POULSEN’S PINK $1.00 
A profuse blooming floribunda with beautifully formed semi-double buds of 
pinkish rose with yellow base. Produced in large clusters on a strong growing 
_plant (3 ft.) with dark green, glossy foliage. 
ROSENELFE $1.00 
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. 
SNOW BIRD $1.00 
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 ona stem. A compact, clean disease resistant plant; very floriferous. The 
best white floribunda to my knowledge. 
SUNSHINE $1.00 
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. 
THE FAIRY $1.25 
The Fairy is a new polyantha and one of the loveliest little roses you can 
imagine. The small coral pink buds open to very double flowers about an inch 
in diameter. They are borne in large clusters and are profuse bloomers all 
season. The plant is a vigorous spreading grower about 1% to 2 ft. high and 
4to5ft. across. Foliage is small, dark, glossy green and very free of disease.
