Lovely and Unique 
Floribunda Rose 
GERANIUM RED 
Guuda 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 small, perfectly shaped buds that are actually gems to cut 
for corsages and small arrangements. Slightly open, one cluster is a whole bouquet. Floribundas are 
truly fascinating, and they never fail to arouse interest and comment. 
Baby Blaze. Patent applied for. A brand-new Floribunda well 
named. Has appearance of being a prolific bush form of the 
climber Blaze. $2.25. 
Cecile Brunner. The “Sweetheart Rose.’”’ One of the treasures 
of old Southern gardens, just as valued today as in the past. 
It is a Tea-Polyantha that develops into a large, vigorous bush, 
producing an abundance of very small, double, light pink 
blooms in clusters over a long season. $1.50. 
Crimson Rosette. Plant Patent 901. Coiled “rosette” shape; 
deep red, very double flowers in clusters on stiff stems. As a 
bedding variety it is superb, but it has much merit as a long- 
lasting cut flower. This variety is something new and charming 
in Floribundas, and worthy of a place in any garden. $1.75. 
Dagmar Spath. Pure white flowers. Free flowering, producing 
masses of bloom with golden stamens. An ideal bedding Rose 
of medium height. $1.25. 
Donald Prior. Plant Patent 377. A perfect Crimson Glory deep 
red color, producing great masses of bloom over a long season, 
right on through the hottest summer weather. Very vigorous. 
A great favorite in the Lower South, and rightly so, for it ts 
always showy and easy to grow. $1.50. 
Else Poulsen. One of the older Floribundas, but widely grown 
because it is a most satisfactory performer. The semi-double, 
panies set bright rose-pink flowers are carried on erect, strong plants.
