FLORIBUNDA 
ROSES 
Else 
Poulsen 
A new class of Roses whose persistence in blooming from June until frost, makes them ideal for plant- 
Ing in groups, borders, and beds. Their masses of color through the summer produce a striking and 
permanent display. More and more people are planting them instead of perennial and annual flowers. 
They are easy to care for and are more hardy than the Tea Roses. Grow about 2 to 3 feet high with 
good foliage. Like all Roses, they require sun and do their best in the heavy fertile soils. Where color is 
important they merit a place in any garden, large or small. Truly, they are the ‘“‘Roses of Tomorrow.’
