WHAT ARE FLORIBUNDA ROSES? 
Floribundas are an entirely different and distinct 
group of Roses. They are extremely hardy, doing well 
under the most adverse conditions. They are the most 
prolific of bloomers. Floribundas start blooming very 
early in June in midwestern areas and continue to 
produce constantly until freezing weather. I!n_ this 
respect they resemble the Polyanthas; however, their 
blooms are more like the Hybrid Teas in form. Size 
of flowers depends on variety but many of them are 
almost as large as those of regular Hybrid Teas. They 
grow vigorously with canes from 20 to 30 inches in 
height, according to variety. Floribundas are one of 
the best plants we know of for bedding and for bor- 
ders. Their foliage is attractive and not easily subject 
to disease, and their constant blooming habit makes 
them desirable wherever long and colorful flowering 
season is needed. 

“CHATEAU” 
Be prepared to literally have your “eyes knocked out’’ when you 
first see “Chateau” in bloom. A red to end all reds. Color is so in- 
tense and so scintillating that even the wonderful red of Etoile de 
Hollande seems pale beside it, and the color holds without fading 
as long as the blooms last. As with other Floribundas, plants are 
very hardy, grow under adverse soil and weather conditions and 
bloom abundantly from spring until freezing in late fall. ‘“Chateau’’ 
grows about 24 inches hign and blooms have stems sufficiently 
long for cutting. If you want a really bright color for beds or along 
a drive, get this one. 2-year, No. 1 plants, $1.00 each; 3 for 2.75; 
6 for $4.75; 12 for $8.50, postpaid.
