Towne & Country can be used to produce supremely dense
flowering planters; we recommend this series for containers up to the
2-gallon size.
Modern classics
Everything old is new again with the Renaissance series. This
collection offers unforgettable intense perfume combined with the
old English rose flower form, combined with all the benefits of modern
rose breeding. Plants are compact in the container and grow to four
feet tall in the garden.
Renaissance flowers heavily most of the season. Plants flower
generously in multiples at the end of each branch. Usually, a lead
flower acting as a representative blooms early, followed by five to
seven additional buds.
This series adapts well to container sizes ranging from 1 gallon to
2½ gallon.
For the consumer, Renaissance can be maintained in a decorative
container near the patio where its fragrance and color can be easily
enjoyed. In the garden, Renaissance can be planted in a mass, or
individually. This series brings out the rose lover in everyone.
First in floribundas
The National Parks series features highly fragrant floribunda roses.
Floribunda roses are unrivaled for providing heavily flowered, long-
lasting garden displays. Poulsen is the originator of the floribunda
type: Dines Poulsen first bred floribundas in 1907, by crossing
polyantha roses with hybrid teas.
Today, the National Parks series shows the best qualities of both rose
genetics. The series produces large, semi-double or double, rose
flowers in successive sprays. Because they’re easy to care for, the
National Parks series is perfect for mass planting as hedges in beds,
parks and gardens.
National Parks is recommended for 2-gallon production, though
if special market situations require it, the series can adapt for
1-gallon programs.
As the licensed broker partner for Poulsen in the U.S. market, we
offer an array of the very best Poulsen genetics. Contact your Griffin
sales representative to discuss your next rose program, and how
Poulsen can make a positive difference for you.
