Wiki Draft

Floradora is listed by Daniels Nursery as a rose cultivar, not an edible fruit cultivar. The 1950 Daniels planting guide includes it under "Daniels Beautiful Roses" for northern landscapes. It describes Floradora as a scarlet to geranium-red rose with intensely double flowers of about 25 petals. Plants are about 2 to 2 1/2 feet tall. [S1]

The catalog says Floradora received an A.A.R.S. award in 1945, giving it a recommendation from All-America Rose Selections. The source does not name a breeder, parentage, release institution, or origin location. [S1]

The horticultural description is brief but useful. Floradora was sold as a compact rose with vivid red color and double flowers. The page does not describe hips, edible use, fragrance, disease resistance, or bloom season for this cultivar. [S1]

Daniels presents the page for northern buyers and says the roses were grown for the rugged climate of the Northwest. The same page says all listed roses require winter protection. Floradora should not be treated from this source alone as a fully hardy prairie rose that needs no protection. [S1]

The catalog context shows this is a nursery sales listing for ornamental roses, including hybrid tea, perpetual, floribunda, and climbing rose groups. The available evidence does not place Floradora within Pomologica's edible fruit scope. [S1]
