Appendix III

American Polyanthas: Sub Rosa

Polyanthas of any stripe can be found listed in catalogs online and in hard copy under any one of a number of rubrics: ground covers, patio plants, shrublets, shrubs, Old Garden Roses (sic!), floribundas, and/or Earthkind, These are just current terms for the older designations of dwarf polyanthas, poly pompoms, compactas, and whatall.

All of these terms derive from the nurserymen
