LARGE-FLOWERED HORVATH HYBRID 
SETIGERA HYBRID 
Color of Flower: Amber and buff shadings, 
difficult to describe. Buds ovoid, deep amber 
colored, opening into large cup-shaped flowers 
which are produced on spur branches both on 
main stock and laterals, 12 to 15 inches long. 
This is the amber colored form of Doubloons. 
Foliage: Glaucous green and healthy. Seldom 
affected by black spot or other Rose maladies. 
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. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height 10 to 12 feet. 
Canes are very plentiful which is in part re- 
sponsible for the tremendous amount of flowers 
produced. 
Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00

LARGE-FLOWERED APRICOT-PINK 
CLIMBER BY HORVATH 
DOUBLOONS X DAMASCENA X CLIO 
Color of Flower: Sparkling two-toned apricot 
and coral-pink cup-shaped flowers which open 
slowly and do not fade. When fully open they 
measure 4 to 5 inches across. The flowers and 
buds are as handsome as any Hybrid Tea Rose. 
Flowers are produced abundantly on spur 
branches both on main stalk and laterals 1 to 
2 feet long. They are stiff, bearing their flow- 
ers without bending. Again we claim this va- 
riety to be “‘tops”’ in this particular color range. 
Referred to by visitors as perfectly beautiful. 
Foliage: The leaves are shiny and large, 
abundantly produced. In the four years of test- 
ing we have seen no black spot or mildew. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the 
Temperate Zone. Can be successfully grown 
with protection in the colder regions. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 7 to 
9 feet. 
Each $2.50, Doz. $25.00 

Only a limited number available for this

GIANT SCARLET CLIMBER BY HORVATH 
ROSA ALPHA X XANTHINA X PRES. COOLIDGE 
Color of Flower: Brilliant scarlet-red of the same shade 
as Crimson Glory. The flowers are perfectly formed, very 
slow in opening and when fully open, 4 to 5 inches across. 
The flowers, although large, are perfectly shaped and just 
as handsome as those of a Hybrid Tea Rose. Flowers are 
produced abundantly on spur branches 12 to 18 inches 
long, which are stiff, holding the flowers in perfect posi- 
tion. Flowers have from 55 to 60 petals, do not discolor 
when fully cpen. Without any question of doubt, the 
finest scarlet Climbing Rose yet introduced. Horvath 
claims this to be the finest creation to date. 
Foliage: Rich bottle-green, quite abundant. We have 
never seen mildew or black spot in our test garden for 
three years. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate 
Zone. Can be successfully grown with protection in 
colder regions. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 8 to 10 feet. 
Canes are very plentiful, not overly thorny. 
Each $2.50, Doz. $25.00 
Only a limited number available for this spring. Orders 
filled in rotation as received. Late orders will be filled 
in autumn.
