Scintilfeting ‘‘Floradora” 
WHAT ARE FLORIBUNDAS? 
Floribundas are an entirely different and distinct 
group of Roses. They are extremely hardy, doing well 
under the most adverse conditions. They are the most 
prolific of bloomers. Floribundas start blooming very 
early in June in midwestern areas and continue to 
produce constantly until freezing weather. In this re- 
spect they resemble the Polyanthas; however, their 
blooms are more like the Hybrid Teas in form. Size of 
flowers depends on variety but many of them are 
almost as large as those of regular Hybrid Teas. They 
grow vigorously with canes from 20 to 30 inches in 
height, according to variety. Floribundas are one of 
the best plants we know of for bedding and for borders. 
Their foliage is attractive and not easily subject to 
disease, and their constant blooming habit makes them 
desirable wherever a long and colorful flowering sea- 
son is necded.

unopened buds at one time. Each plant bears literally hun-

Deep, Dark, Satiny Red Floribunda, “Chateau”

tense and so scintillating that even the 
wonderful red of Etoile de Hollande seems pale beside it, and the 
color holds without fading as long as the blooms last. As with other 
Floribundas, plants are very hardy under adverse scil and weather 
conditions and bloom abundantly from sporing until freezing in late 
fall. ‘“Chateau’’ grows about 24 inches high and blooms have stems 
sufficiently long for cutting. If you want a really bright color for 
beds or along a drive, get this one. 2-year, No. 1 plents, $1.25
