'Orange Ice'. Floribunda. 2-3 feet. The other of the two new floribundas created by Richard Thomson, so popular as a writer and lecturer about roses, and for his own rare personality. A beautiful plant with dark foliage and brownish-red tones on stems and calyxes....the clusters of semi-double 2 1/2 to 3 inch flowers a color I've never seen in a rose before. Orange, yes, but suffused with lavender tones....very beautiful and difficult to picture in words. $3.00
