    Plain Talk* Fl rrr/f/1 Swim & Weeks, 1964 [UC Davis] Semi-double flowers of light true red light up this little plant; the foliage is rich green and abundant. This rose was a part of the “Talk” series developed by Swim & Weeks beginning in the early sixties; all were quite compact Floribundas, and a number of unusual colors, including several lavenders, were offered. The series included Baby Talk, Double Talk, Fancy Talk, Happy Talk, Pillow Talk, Plain Talk, Small Talk, Smooth Talk, Sweet Talk, and Town Talk.
