Border of Floribunda Roses 
FLORIBUNDA OR POLYANTHA ROSES 
These are bush Roses producing clusters of 
bloom without interruption from early summer 
until late frosts. They are all very easy to grow 
and exceptionally hardy. Besides using them 
informally in beds, plant Floribundas in the 
foreground of hardy shrub borders. As a hedge, 
they are a very fine substitute for the more 
common privet and barberry. 
Plant Floribundas 15 to 18 inches apart and 
prune lightly to the desired height, removing 
old flower clusters and thinning out dead wood 
They grow 2 to 21% feet tall.

HYBRID PERPETUAL OR 
JUNE ROSES 
In this class Iarge flowers, fragrance, disease 
resistance, and strong growth are outstanding 
features. While most varieties bloom only in 
June and July, many will repeat throughout 
the summer and fall, and a few even repeat 
heavily enough to rival some of the Hybrid Teas. 
Those that repeat are marked (R). 
Hybrid Perpetuals spaced 21% to 3 feet apart 
can be grown as bedding Roses at a height of 
3 to 4 feet, or allowed to grow into shrubs up to 
6 feet tall. A few of the most vigorous can be 
trained as pillars, giving wonderful displays of 
bloom in June and July. They also make fine 
specimen plants on the lawn. If wanted for 
bedding, prune to 15 to 18 inches; for shrubs, 
2 feet or over. For a pillar Rose, allow the plant 
to grow as tall as desired, then cut out only dead 
wood or enough to keep the bush within bounds. 
Hybrid Perpetuals sometimes outgrow the 
space allotted them, in which case the canes 
should be cut back to 214 feet. This summer 
pruning often encourages more repeat blooming. 
Any of the following, $1.25 each; 3 for $3.50; 
6 for $6.50; 12 for $12.50
