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.

semble the flowers of a red-flowering dogwood tree, and are pro- 
duced in great clusters. Blooms continuously throughout the sea-
