Or why not try Floribundas in a shrub border? Groups of these 
Roses planted in strategic places in front of other shrubs will pick 
up the melody of early spring bloom and carry it on through the 
whole season, complementing any shrubs that bloom with them 
and providing color for the group when the shrubs are through. 
Don't Hesitate to Cut These Roses 
They are wonderful as cut-flowers. Already ‘‘arranged”’ by na- 
ture in artful sprays, they are naturally decorative in bouquets. 
Their strong stems and firm petals make them long lasting after 
cutting; buds on the sprays continue to open with good color. These 
gay, dainty flowers have their own special charm in decorative uses. 
Cut the sprays without taking too much foliage, and more new 
bloom shoots will promptly start on the plants below the cut. 
Floribundas Are Hardy and Long-lived 
These are Roses that don’t know what quitting means. Winter 
does not kill them; they are too sturdy to be bothered by winter 
winds and icy cold. Summer heat and even spells of drought are 
taken in their stride. They will endure hardship and keep on bloom- 
ing more certainly than any other class of Roses. They will stand 
considerable neglect, need no pampering, and a very little good 
care will be lavishly repaid. Plant Floribundas now and enjoy them 
for many years to come.
