FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Floradora. Exquisitely formed buds of orange-scarlet, 
In sprays of 6 to 12 blooms, opening to cinnabar-red, 
camellia-shaped flowers. Very lasting as a cut flower. 
Bush is vigorous. $1.50. 
Geranium Red. Pat. 811. Here is the most unusual and 
most admired red Floribunda at Thomasville. In color 
it is all the name implies, and the flowers are somewhat 
larger than most Roses of this group. The 4-inch, ca- 
mellia-like flowers are a vivid, bright, geranium-like red, 
and no picture does it full credit. The bush is a strong 
one, and the flowering season is from spring till late fall 
m the Lower South. As a bedding Rose and as a cut- 
flower variety, this distinctively different Floribunda 
has been much admired by those who have seen it. $1.50. 
Goldilocks. Patent 672. Here at last is the long-awaited 
true golden yellow Floribunda, and fortunately it grows 
on a vigorous, spreading, prolific bush. This Rose is 
much praised by those who see and grow it. $1.50. 
FLORIBUNDAS FOR CUTTING 
As cut flowers Floribundas last longer than most other 
Roses. And there are such lovely colors! 
Fashion is superb even in miniature

medium-sized buds and flowers; pure white.

large, tea-like bush, producing many clus- 
ters of tiny, double flowers, identical in 
size with Cecile Brunner. $1.25. 
Pinkie. Patent 712. A very lovely little 
rose of perfect, Sweetheart size and form. 
Deep pink, opening lighter. A most pro- 
fuse bloomer, repeating over a long season. 
An All-America Winner of 1948. $1.75. 
Pink Rosette. Patent 902. Beautiful, 
“Tosette-form’”’ floribunda. Prolific in 
bloom on small, compact bush. $1.75. 
Pinocchio. Patent 484. Semi-double; pink, 
suffused salmon. Strong, compact, florif- 
erous bush. Truly a charming Rose, and 
a great favorite with all who grow Flori- 
bundas. $1.25. 
Red Pinocchio. Patent 812. 
Here is one of the most 
satisfying Roses of all time 
for the South. It is an ex- 
tremely vigorous variety, 
producing a great mass of 
darkest red blooms in large 
clusters in spring, summer and 
fall. In our fields last sum- 
mer Red Pinocchio bloomed 
right on through one of the 
most severe heat waves of 
years without burning. As a 
cut flower it lasted longer 
than most other varieties. 
If you love Floribundas, and 
almost everyone does, this
