Floribundas 
These useful cluster-flowered roses are colorful in the 
extreme, free-flowering beyond belief, hardy to cold, vigorous, 
and easily cared for. Here at Armstrong's it is a great year for 
new Floribundas, because our three new ones—Circus (the 1956 
All-America Winner), Fanfare and Wildfire—are three of the finest 
and most colorful we have ever seen. We've indicated the approximate | 
size a variety reaches in our gardens. In areas with cold winters 
and shorter growing season plants may not reach these heights. 
Fanfare 
Orange, salmon & pink Luxuriantly foliaged 
Large blooms, to 3 in. Vigorous, large, to 342 ft. 
Almost continuous bloom Rome Gold Medal, 1955 
Predominantly, the color is coral-orange, but there 
are intriguing glints of yellow, flashes of orange, and 
a finishing flush of pastel pink. Fanfare boasts one of 
the finest plants among Floribundas with a rounded 
compact habit and big glossy leaves right down to 
the ground. When loaded with its profuse bloom 
(and that is most of the time) it is a glorious sight.
