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 as 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

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.

liant and sparkling to the point of being compeiling. 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

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.
