FLORIBUNDA ROSES (Large-Flowered Polyanthas) 
Individual prices as noted, less 10% quantity discount for any 50 or more Floribunda Roses 
HE WORD “Floribunda” is used to refer to bush Roses producing 
clusters of blooms without interruption from early summer 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 varieties 
of large-flowered or Hybrid Polyanthas, and possibly a few Hybrid Teas. 
They are all very easy to grow and exceptionally hardy. Besides using 
them informally in Rose beds, plant Floribundas in permanent groups for 
color in the foreground of hardy shrub borders.

BETTY PRIOR. $1.25 each 
Floribunda and Polyantha Roses should al- 
ways be planted in groups of at least three each. 
Since it is generally understood they are for mass 
color effect rather than individual specimen 
blooms, one should realize this effect is never 
gained when planting only one of a kind.
