Polyautha aud 
The Polyantha and Floribunda Roses bloom almost continuously. They are very foolproof, 
for they require little or no Winter protection and are quite free from disease. Their flowers are 
borne in clusters. Set the plants 18 to 24 inches apart. : 
For spots of continuous glorious color all season, we recommend planting not less than five 
of a kind of Polyanthas or Floribundas. Use them as borders or hedges. They are also very 
effective used singly in Hybrid Tea beds or perennial borders.
