FLORIBUNDA ROSES 
Generally speaking this group of roses are small flowered, but like the Azalea, there 
are a lot of them. The popular Cecile Brunner is one extreme while Red Ripples and 
Floradora are more showy because the flowers are in good size clusters. Beds of Flori- 
bundas 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 
arrangements and bouquets. 
BETTY PRIOR (Pat. 340). In the early 
spring, the single blooms resemble the flow- 
ers of a red-flowering dogwood tree, and are 
produced in great clusters. Blooms continu- 
ously throughout the season, opening a lively 
red color, and turning to delicate shell-pink 
as the flowers age. $1.50 each, bare root. 
CECILE BRUNNER. Most popular and best 
known of the baby roses. Small pink buds 
open to double flowers. Bright pink with a 
touch of yellow at the base of petals. Con- 
tinuous bloomer. $1.50 each, bare root. 
FLORADORA. The scarlet-red coloring of 
this neat flowered floribunda has attracted 
lots of attention. The tiny buds open to ca- 
mellia-like double blooms. We like this one 
for flower arrangements and corsages. 4 ft. 
$1.50 each, bare root. 
FROLIC (Pat. 1179). Small to medium long, 
pointed buds open to semi-double flowers of 
various shades of pink, darkest pink to al- 
most white as the flower fades. The slightly 
fragrant flower clusters are produced in abun- 
dance. 3 ft. $2.25 each, bare root. 
GARNETTE. This popular florist’s variety now 
available for the fancier’s garden. A perfect 
boutonniere rose and very showy from the 
charming bud to the full bloom stage. Gar- 
net red with light lemon-yellow base. Slightly 
fragrant and long lasting. $1.50 each, bare 
root.

many the best yellow polyantha rose on the 
coast. Healthy, floriferous and lovely if the 
old blooms are kept out. Performs best on 
semi-shaded location. $1.50 each, bare root. 
IRENE OF DENMARK (Pat. 889). Exquisite 
‘Sweetheart’’ form buds add graceful, good- 
sized flowers of gleaming white 
a5, with small, bright green foliage.
