Floribuuda Koses 
Revolution and color riot in the rose world came a few years ago with the advent of the Floribunda. This com- 
pletely delightful half-breed of Polyantha and Hybrid Tea rose brought with her a whole era of new ideas in land- 
scaping and practical uses in planting for people who want roses in profusion. 
The Floribunda is ‘‘catching on’, and each season finds it gaining in popularity. Hybridizers both here and 
abroad are producing many new and fascinating kinds in this group. In very recent years several have earned the 
sought-after rose ‘‘Oscar’’—the All-America Rose Selections award. 
There is unbounding charm in these semi-baby roses as borders, center plantings, and low, fill-in groups where 
a daring dash of color is needed to start the spring in high spirit. Amazingly enough, they repeat this glorious bloom 
throughout the summer and early fall, further endearing themselves to gardeners and rose lovers. 
A bonus feature of the Floribunda is the tiny, perfectly shaped buds that are actually gems to cut for corsages 
and small arrangements. Slightly open, one cluster is a whole bouquet. They never fail to arouse interest and com- 
ment. 
For full enjoyment and mass color effect from the Floribunda, try to impress upon your customers the importance 
of planting several of a kind.

big enough to be a Hybrid Tea. Its abundance of bloom 
classes it as a Floribunda. It blooms its head off all
