Center Point, Iowa Roses 
Polyanthas, or Baby Ramblers are hardy but are better with protection 
and are the most continuous blooming of all. 
Floribundas are especially suitable for massing and have considerably 
larger flowers and bushes than the Polyanthas. 
Brownell’s Sub-Zero Hybrid Teas (marked S-Z. H. T.) are a strain pro- 
duced with hardiness as well as disease resistance and flower and plant per- 
fection in mind. They still need what protection you can give them. 
All of this group of roses like rich garden soil and plenty of moisture. 
Frequent watering and feeding is well paid in extra blooms. To avoid black 
spot water only in the morning and keep the water off the foliage, and use 
a good rose spray or dust.
