QUEEN ELIZABETH (Lammerts 54) 2 $3.00 
The delightful, clear fresh pink blooms of this 1955 
grandiflora AARS winner and the sturdy plant make it 
truly worthy of the charming Queen for whom it is 
named. Flowers have a high-centered hybrid tea form 
and are borne singly and in clusters on nearly thornless 
stems. Plants are extremely vigorous and may grow to 
six feet or more, always producing a profusion of bloom. 
Foliage is an excellent deep glossy green that is nearly 
disease proof and covers the plant to the ground. Mild 
fragrance. Its keeping qualities as a cut flower are excel- 
lent. This is a rose you will be proud to have in your 
garden, but don’t plant it in the front row as it grows so 
very tall.

POLYANTHA and 
FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Polyantha are the small roses usually produced in clusters 
and commonly called ‘Baby Roses”. Floribunda is a new 
classification of the larger flowering varieties of the poly- 
anthas which are becoming more popular. They are most 
effectively used in mass plantings along driveways, walls 
or for border planting, etc. Floribundas come in a wide 
range of colors and produce a mass of color over a long 
period of time. All of those listed below are quite free of 
disease. 
BABY BLAZE (Boerner ’54) 
Similar in color to the popular climber, Blaze. The bright, 
cherry red flowers have a white eye and are borne in 
great profusion throughout the season. The bushy plants 
produce flowers in large clusters which drop their petals 
neatly at the end. The disease resistant foliage is a soft, 
clean green.
