THE FRAGRANT WHITE CLIMBER 
(HORVATH 1938) 
Wichuraiana X Multiflora X Rosa Foetida Bicolor 
A very hardy climber of robust growth. Disease 
resistant and exceedingly free blooming. The pure 
white individual flowers are often 2 inches in diam¬ 
eter and occur in large clusters. It is especially 
valuable where purity as well as profusion of bloom 
is essential. In addition we believe it to be the 
most fragrant of the Cimbing 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 block spot or mildew. Unquestionably one of 
the best hardy white Climbing Roses.

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. 
Sire of Plant: Ultimate height 1 4 to 15 feet.
