INDIVIDUAL PRICES AS NOTED, LESS 10% QUANTITY DISCOUNT 
FROM THE EACH RATE FOR ANY 50 ROSES OR MORE 
The 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 per- 
manent groups for color in the foreground of hardy shrub borders. 
The day is here when more and more Floribunda Roses are being used for straightline 
border or hedge planting instead of the more common privet or barberry. These Roses provide 
good foliage, utility—plus—constant color. 
PLANTING DISTANCE: Average 15 to 18 inches. 
HEIGHT: Average 24 to 30 inches. 
PRUNING: Prune lightly to desired height removing old cluster heads and thin out dead wood. 
Floribunda and Polyantha Roses should be 
planted in groups of at least three each. Since 
ee CHATEAU: it is generally understood they are for mass color 
ane ey effect rather than individual specimen blooms, 
pag one should realize this effect is never gained 
when planting only one of a kind.

Its vigorous, healthy plant habits, there is no

blooms at a time, continuously from June to 
November. The individual buds and flowers 
are almost perfect in form, with plenty of 
substance and petalage to make them last 
long either on the plant, as cut-flowers, or as 
boutonnieres. Even the foliage is beautiful 
and almost holly-like. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00.
