FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Generally speaking, this group of roses is small flowered, but 
like the Azaleas, there are a lot of them. The tiny blossoms of 
the new Charlie McCarthy are one extreme, and the larger 
flowered types like Floradora are the other extreme in this class. 
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 arrange- 
ments and bouquets. In general, the Polyantha roses are very 
similar to Floribundas, and they are included in this group with- 
Carrousel (Pat. 1066) . See Grandiflora Roses, 
page 9. 
Charlie McCarthy (P.A.F.). Creamy white 
miniature buds expanding into pure white 
spic and span flowers. The famous puppet’s 
lively qualities are symbolized in this rose: 
in the unending show of flowers, in the pol- 
ished freshness of its foliage, in the rounded, 
tailored look of the low bush whose clipped 
boxwood appearance has an effect seen in no 
other rose. Yes, and it can always be depended 
upon for a topflight performance. $2.00 each; 
3 of more, $1.75 each; 25 or more, $1.60 
each. 
Crimson Rosette (Pat. 901). Crimson clus- 
ters of brilliant red roses in bush-hiding pro- 
fusion. Tremendously vigorous. Medium. 
$1.75 each; 3 or more, $1.55 each; 25 or 
more, $1.40 each.
