CLIMBING ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Clear, deep rose-pink of same shade as Dame Edith 
Helen. The flowers are huge, fully 5 to 6 inches across when fully open. 
Slow in opening, lasting a long time. The flowers, though large, are 
refined and equal the finest Hybrid Tea Rose. Flowers are produced 
abundantly on spur branches both on main stock and laterals, 1 to 2 
feet long. They are stiff and bear their heavy load without bending. 
Flowers do not droop, having a very stiff neck, and have from 50 to 55 
(petals. The appearance of the plant is one of noble ruggedness. With¬ 
out a doubt the finest pink large-flowered climber to date. 
Foliage; The rich, shining, bronzy green leaves are larger than those 
of the Mahonia or Oregon Grape and are ornamental in themselves. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate Zone. Can be 
successfully grawn with protection in the colder regions where growing 
Roses heretofore has not been possible or exceedingly difficult. 
Sixe of Plant: Ultimate height 14 to 15 feet. 
Color of Flower: Lively, brilliant and sparkling rose-pink with lighter 
center, iridescent orange undertone. Flowers are produced in very Targe 
quantities in bracts on stems 12 to 24 inches long; individual blooms 
3 1/2 inches in diameter. Petals wavy and crested, forming charming cup¬ 
like, semi-double flowers which have from 24 to 36 petals. Excellent 
for cutting. Very sweetly scented. 
Foliage; Rich green, quite dark. We have never seen black spot or 
mildew on this variety in our test gorden for 4 years. Would say abso¬ 
lutely mildew-proof. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate Zone. Can be 
successfully grown with protection in the colder regions where growing 
Roses heretofore has not been possible or exceedingly difficult. 
Sixe of Plant: Ultimate height 12 to 14 feet. Canes are very plenti¬ 
ful which is in part responsible for the tremendous amount of flowers 
produced.

form and borne singly and in clusters on 15- to 24-inch stems. Two- 
toned pink, resembling miniature Lady Alice Stanley blooms. They com¬ 
pletely cover the plant when in bloom. Each flower has 80 or more 
petals; they are charming for cutting, lasting more than a week in 
water, and are exceedingly useful for corsages. 
Foliage: Shiny bright dark green, resistant to the ordinary Rose mala¬ 
dies such as mildew or black spot. Free grower. Foliage from top to 
base. Handsome for hedge purposes, as well as single specimens in the 
shrub border.

successfully grown with protection in the colder regions where growing 
Roses heretofore has not been possible or exceedingly difficult.

upright, rounding growth, excellent for hedging and single specimens in 
the flower border. Never attains more than 2- to 3-foot spread.

starting in June, lasting until frost, starts blooming about 2 weeks later 
than Hybrid Tea Roses, but is never without flowers the entire summer

a flower for cutting.

THE FRAGRANT WHITE CLIMBER (HORVATH 1938) (Rights Reserved) 
Wichuraiana X Multiflora X Rosa Foetida Bicolor 
A very hardy climber of robust growth. Disease resistant and ex¬ 
ceedingly free blooming. The pure white individual flowers are often 
2 inches in diameter and occur in large clusters. It is especially valuable 
where purity os well as profusion of bloom is essential. In addition we 
believe it to be the most fragrant of the Climbing Roses. The foliage is 
light and shiny green. It sparkles in sunlight and is ornamental in itself 
throughout the summer, blending perfectly with the pure white flowers. 
During its test period we have never seen any signs of black spot or 
mildew. Unquestionably one of the best hardy white Climbing Roses.

in clusters in great abundance in June and July. A second crop of bloom 
occurs again in the autumn. The shape and form of the flowers of this 
variety must not be compared with those of the Hybrid Tea Roses, nor 
should it be grown in the conventional Rose bed. Here is a variety of 
rugged habit, stronger growth, and should be planted in front of the 
shrub border or where it has ample room to develop. Shows up best 
after second year. 
Foliage: Deep rich green, practically free fram black spot, mildew 
or the common Rose maladies.

liant and sparkling to the point of being compelling. The flower reflects 
a fiery orange glow. Blooms profusely, singly and in clusters the entire

of the flowers of this variety must not be compared with those of the 
Hybrid Tea Roses. Its size, however, permits it to be grown in the con¬ 
ventional Rose bed. Here is a variety of rugged habit, stronger growth, 
and should be planted by those who have despaired of growing H. T. 
Roses.
