THE NEW 
GRANDIFLORA ROSES 
This new class of roses was officially initiated in 1954, and consists 
of varieties relatively tall in growth, free flowering, often with many 
flowers in clusters, but with individual stems long enough for cutting. 
The flowers, though not necessarily as large as Hybrid Teas, are 
larger than the average Floribundas.
