Red Ripples 
fi Best called a tall Polyantha as it grows about 2’ feet hig 
; It is not really a Floribunda although it might well be planteé 








along with them because height and size of plant are about tf 
same as the Fleribundas. It produces immense flower clusters 
an intensely scintillating red, individual flowers are composed 
wavy rippling red petals. The buds are daintily molded and pe 
fect for boutonnieres. In our test garden this variety and Crimsé 
Rosette were the two most brilliant reds and most popular. R 
Ripples is a prolific bloomer and perfect grower. For foregrou 
planting in the shrub border you could not pick anything mo 
brilliant or colorful.
