CLUSTER-FLOWERED ROSES 
Generally speaking this group of roses are small flowered, but like 
the Azaleas, there are a lot of them. The popular Cecile Brunner 
is one extreme while Red Ripples and Floradora are more showy 
because the flowers are in good size clusters. Beds of Floribundas 
are very bright and showy. The dwarfer ones make fine borders 
for the rose garden, or plant in groups of three or more to enliven 
the shrubbery. Ideal for flower arrangements and bouquets. 
Betty Prior (Pat. 340). In the early spring, the single blooms re- 
semble the flowers of a red-flowering dogwood tree, and are pro- 
duced in great clusters. Blooms continuously throughout the sca- 
son, opening a lively red color, and turning to delicate shell-pink 
as the flowers age. $1.50 each, bare root. 
Cecile Brunner. Most popular and best known of the baby roses. 
Small pink buds open to double flowers. Bright pink with a touch 
of yellow at the base of petals. Continuous bloomer. 
@®D Fashion (Pat. 789). AARS 1950. Abundant double blooms 
Mee of deep coral-peach borne in clusters. Blooms from spring 
until heavy frost. Especially suitable for table decorations and 
corsages. Bushes strong and vigorous, growing to 3 feet. Very 
desirable. $2.00 each, bare root. 
Floradora. The scarlet-red coloring of this neat flowered floribunda 
has attracted lots of attention. The tiny buds open to camellia-like 
double blooms. We like this one for flower arrangements and cor- 
sages. 4 ft. $1.25 each, bare root. 
Goldilocks (Pat. 672). Considered by many the best yellow poly- 
antha rose on the coast. Healthy, floriferous and lovely if the old 
blooms are kept out. Performs best on semi-shaded location. $1.50 
each. 
1953 has charming buds, both singly and in clusters, all sea- 
son. The cup-shaped flowers are light pink with yellow suf- 
fusion in the early stages, turning to soft coral pink as they age.
