Horibuuda ROSES 
Revolution and color riot in the Rose world came a few years ago with the advent of the Floribunda. 
This completely delightful cross of Dwarf Polyantha and Hybrid Tea Roses brought a whole new 
era of ideas for landscaping to people who want Roses in profusion. When it was discovered that 
Floribundas are lovely and long lasting as cut flowers, their popularity rose rapidly. ; 
There is unbounding charm in these semi-baby Roses as borders, center plantings and low fill-in 
groups where a dash of color is needed to start the spring in high spirit. Amazingly enough, Flori- 
bundas repeat their glorious bloom throughout the summer and 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. Floritbundas are 
truly fascinating, and they never fail to arouse interest and comment. 
“= Crimson Rosette. Patent 901. Coiled, “rosette” 
shape; deep red, very double flowers in clusters 
on stiff stems. As a bedding variety it is superb,

This variety is something new and charming in 
Floribundas, and worthy of a place in any garden.
