Large Flowered Shrimp Climber 



Rosa Setigera Hybrid by Horvath 



Color of flowers. The outer petals are a beautiful pale buff — shrimp- 

 pink increasing in intensity to a deeper and richer shading towards the 

 center, until a beautiful tone of rose-pink has been reached. 



The petals are imbricated and artistically formed, resembling dozens 

 of shining seashells shaping the flower into the perfect form of a Hybrid 

 Tea Rose. The flowers occur singly or in clusters of three on side 

 laterals, which are 10 to 12 inches long, a perfect length for cutting. 

 The buds are perfectly formed and open into flowers with high centers. 

 The size of the flowers when fully opened measures 3J4 to 4 inches 

 across. The substance of the flower petals is astounding, it seems im- 

 possible to crush them. Last but not least, the fragrance of this variety 

 is delightful, almost spicy and very intense. 



Foliage of leathery texture, deep bottle green and practically im- 

 mune to black spot mildew and other Rose maladies. The stems are 

 heavy and cane-like requiring little support. 



Price, 2-year-old field-grown dormant plants; 

 $3.00 each; $30.00 per doz.

A Remarkable New 



Hardy Everblooming Climbing Rose 



DREAM GIRL 



It is only once in a decade or more that a new plant is developed 

 that is head and shoulders above those already in existence. We 

 recognized the superiority of New Dawn when it appeared over a 

 decade ago and now we are pleased to have the privilege of offering 

 the Rose Growers of America a rose that is so distinct, so outstanding 

 that it may well be considered a supreme achievement of the hy- 

 bridizer's art. 



Dream Girl possesses everything that is desired in a climbing garden 

 rose. It is everblooming, beginning to flower in late May or early June 

 and continuing in succession throughout the Summer. It finishes the 

 season with a veritable riot of color in late Fall. The plant makes a 

 fine healthy growth and it is perfectly hardy, having withstood the 

 rigorous Winters at test gardens along the Atlantic Seaboard for sev- 

 eral years without any protection. 



The formation of the rose is ideal. They are borne individually; 

 they are of good size and full petaled. The color is lovely, being a com- 

 bination of coral-pink, apricot and salmon and they possess a pleasing 

 spicy fragrance, which is most pronounced when they are taken in- 

 doors as cut flowers. 



Due to the great number of flowers the plant produces during the 

 course of the season, its rapidity of growth is naturally not as fast as 

 that of the one crop varieties, but it should attain a height of about 

 ten feet in from three to four years time. (Supply limited.) 



Price, 2-year-old dormant plants, $3.00 each.
