Heat Wave, Florib. (Swim, 1958) The orange-scarlet to flame colouring makes this rose almost the Floribunda counterpart of 'Aztec'. Very tall growing. The florets are of spiral formation and they last well, but there are never enough of them in a head. In fact, they come singly far too often.

Heat Wave Florib. (Swim 1958) The name is spelt in two words by the raiser. It is a delightful new scarlet variety with conventionally spiral florets that have universal appeal. The growth is excellent. This could become the most popular red Floribunda.

Heat Wave (Swim): Here is a really worthwhile Floribunda. A nice big bush with lots of bloom. The buds are perfect and open to very attractive flowers. The colour is really eye-catching orange-red, but not harsh. (Bea's favourite).

Heat Wave Floribunda. (Swim, 1958) Described as a gay Chinese red, and certainly a very attractive colour. The blooms are fairly large, with plenty of petals, and a good shape. Classified by the originator as a Floribunda of the "Grandiflora" type, it has many solitary flowers as well as large trusses. A most outstanding variety and one which is bringing a very narrow gap between the H.T.'s and Floribundas. It could be planted with either. This variety and 'Aztec', by the same hybridiser, are very similar in colouring.
