F lo ribunda Roses (Large-flowered Polyanthas) 
Individual prices as noted, less 10% quantity discount for any 25 or more Roses 
| Biiepeterien, all of the varieties under this heading may 
be considered in the new classification called Floribunda 
Roses. 
The word ‘“Floribunda” is used to refer to bush Roses pro- 
ducing clusters of blooms without interruption from early sum- 
mer until late frosts. They were formerly referred to as “bedding 
Roses”’ for mass color effect rather than for specimen blooms. 
The Floribunda class, therefore, includes new as well as old 
BABY CHATEAU. (Kordes, 1936.) Red. A 
shrubby plant with very large, almost single 
flowers of brilliant scarlet-crimson, produced 
constantly. $1.00 each. 
BELVEDERE. (Kiese, 1928.) Red. Flower 
large, full, dark red with velvety shading. 
Dwarf; free bloomer till frost. A descendant of 
two famous Roses, Chateau de Clos Vougeot 
and the little red Polyantha, Eblouissant, 
Belvedere has inherited the best qualities of 
both. $1.00 each. 
BETTY PRIOR. (Prior, 1935.) Pat. 340. Pink. 
Outside of petals dark carmine, inside several 
shades lighter. Borne in Iarge clusters on strong

pleasing shade of the cleanest unfading pink. 
Flowers large, double, full, and free, borne on 
long, arching stems. Foliage bright glossy 
green, almost thornless. We are very fond of 
this lovely Rose. $1.25 each. 
CHEERIO. (Kordes, 1940.) Clear mallow-pmk, 
shading to Tyrian rose. A real deep pink 
Floribunda that blooms abundantly, even in 
hot weather. $1.00 each. 
DAGMAR SPATH (WHITE LAFAYETTE).

$1.00 each. 
DONALD PRIOR. (Prior, 1934.) Pat. 377. Red. 
Large clusters of red flowers on branching 
plants about 114 feet high. Gives off a Damask 
fragrance. A continuous bloomer. 8 to 10 
petals. $1.25 each. 
ELSE POULSEN. (D. T. Poulsen, 1924.) Pink. 
Single, bright rose-pink flowers of large size 
from erect, very thrifty plants. One of the 
oldest and best pink Floribundas and still the 
standard by which others are judged. Excel- 
lent for hedges. 3 ft. $1.00 each. 
PINOCCHIO. . 
$1.25 each 
East Rutherford, N. J. 
FLORADORA. (Tantau, 1943.) Pat. pending.

a perfect camellia-formed bloom. These blooms

touched with orange-scarlet and geranium.

GRUSS AN AACHEN. (Geduldig, 1909.) Blush. 
Orange-red and yellow buds, and large, light

1935.) Red. Sturdy, upright plants grow

suffused a vivid crimson. Fine bedding Rose; 
free flowering. $1.00 each. 
KING BOREAS. (The Brownells, 1940.) Prop- 
agation rights reserved. Yellow. Practically all 
the other recent yellows in this class proved 
disappointments to us; they simply will not 
bloom and grow enough for a Floribunda Rose. 
But on King Boreas you will fmd dozens of 
flowers at one time on each plant from June 
until November. $1.25 each. 
KIRSTEN POULSEN. (D. T. Poulsen, 1924.)

broad. Blooms contmyously. $1.00 each. 



FLORADORA. 
$1.50 each 
varieties of Iarge-flowered or Hybrid Polyanthas, and possibly 
a few Hybrid Teas. They are all very easy to grow and ex- 
ceptionally hardy. 
Planting Distance: Average 15 to 18 inches. 
Height: Average 24 to 30 inches.

NEW WORLD. Dark red. Introduced by Bob- 
bink & Atkins, 1945. Hybridized by Martin R. 
Jacobus, using the fine old Chateau de Clos 
Vougeot and the newer Crimson Glory as par- 
ents. The deep velvety red and maroon 
colorings in both combined to give us this 
valuable new variety. Of equal importance Is 
the strong, pleasing fragrance hitherto lacking 
in most red Floribunda Roses. This is the 
Rose so appropriately christened at the cere- 
monies in the Brooklyn Botanic Rose Garden 
in October 1945, held in conjunction with the 
final New York National War Fund Drive. 
$1.50 each. Patent applied for. 
PINK SATIN. Introduced by Bobbink & Atkins 
1945; origmated by Dr. Whitman Cross. Has 
the color and texture of a lovely pink satin 
dress. Plants are strong and easy-growing. 
The perfect buds and blooms are produced in 
abundance throughout the season. Has proved 
extremely hardy in its testing grounds at the 
New York Botanical Gardens. It is considered 
an excellent bedding Rose, always in bloom and 
therefore classified as a large-flowered Flori- 
bunda. The supply is rather limited for spring 
1946 but it will be available in good quantities 
for mass planting this fall (1946). $1.50 each. 
PINOCCHIO. (J. H. Nicolas, 1940.) Pat. 484.

semi-double blooms produced in great pre- 
fusion continuously. $1.00 each. 
ROSE ELFE. (Kordes, 1937.) Pink. A very 
double form of Else Poulsen, silvery rose-pink 
in color. Gardenia-like flowers are about 21%

until spring 1947.
