SETIGERA HYBRID

dificult 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.

affected by black spot or other Rose maladies.

Temperate Zone. Can be successfully grown with 
protection in the colder regions where growing 
Roses heretofore has not been possible or exceed- 
ingly difficult.

Canes are very plentiful which is in part respon- 
sible for the tremendous amount of flowers pro- 
duced.

LARGE-FLOWERED APRICOT-PINK 
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 flowers 
without bending. Again we claim this variety to 
be “tops” in this particular color range. Referred 
to by visitors as perfectly beautiful. 
Foliage: The leaves are shiny and large, abun- 
dantly produced. In the four years of testing we 
have seen no blackspot or mildew.

Temperate Zone. Can be successfully grown with 
protection in the colder regions.

eet.

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

produced abundantly on spur branches 12 to 18 inches 
long, which are stiff, holding the flowers in perfect position.

fully open. Without any question of doubt, the finest 
scarlet Climbing Rose yet introduced. Horvath claims this 
to be the finest creation to date.

never seen mildew or blackspot in our test garden for three 
years. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate 
Zone. Can be successfully grown with protection in colder 
regions.

canes are very plentiful, not overly thorny.
