GIANT CLIMBER 
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 rugged¬ 
ness. Without a doubt the finest pink large-flow¬ 
ered 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 Tem¬ 
perate Zone. Can be successfully grown with pro¬ 
tection in the colder regions where growing Roses 
heretofore has not been possible or exceedingly 
difficult. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height 14 to 15 feet. 
Each $2.00, per 12 $20.00

SHRUB ROSE 
ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Have from 24 to 28 petals, 
are cerise-red, and grow in clusters in great abun¬ 
dance 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 from 
black spot, mildew or the common Rose maladies. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Tem¬ 
perate Zone. Can be successfully grown with pro¬ 
tection in the colder regions where growing Roses 
heretofore has not been possible or exceedingly dif¬ 
ficult. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height 30 inches, spread 
ing 3 to 4 feet. Robust, strong grower. 
Each $125, per 12 $12.50
