ROSES 
The Floribunda is the larger-flowered, im- 
proved, long-lasting, more profuse-blooming 
type of cluster Rose that has replaced the 
| Polyantha. The gardening public has learned 
quickly of the many outstanding features of 
Floribunda Roses, and today this new race is 
enjoying Immense popularity. 
Floribundas are outstanding for their mass of 
color from April till frost and their large clusters 
of Hybrid Tea-formed flowers, for their adapt- 
ability to great extremes of heat and cold, their 
| disease resistance and their ease of growing. 
Floribundas are particularly effective in Rose 
| gardens for mass color effect and because of 
their usefulness as accents in shrub and ever- 
green borders or wherever a bright spot of color 
| is needed.
