PERPETUAL FLOWERING DOORYARD ROSE 
ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
(Color illustration, page 65.) 
Color of Flower: Peach-blossom-pink with sil- 
very reflexed, sharply recurving imbricated petals, 
center showing a lovely orange undertone. Flowers 
in panicles. Persistent grower and bloomer. Flow- 
ering period starting in June, lasting until frost; 
starts blooming about 2 weeks later than Hybrid 
Tea Roses, but is never without flowers the entire 
summer and fall. Flowers excellent for cutting and 
decorative work, are fully double, having from 50 
to 60 petals, and are delightfully fragrant, lasting 
a week to 10 days in water when cut. Exceptionally 
valuable as a flower for cutting. 
Foliage: Bottle-green, rich and clean. Strong 
resistance to ordinary 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 
difficult. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 2 feet, 
spreading from 6 to 8 feet or more if permitted. 
It is a decumbent, spreading, matlike plant, mak- 
ing it pre-eminently fit for ground covering, low 
beds or as bold edging to drives. 
Each $2.00, per 12 $20.00

CLIMBING ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID 
by HORVATH 
(Color illustration, page 65.) 
Color of Flower: Lively, brilliant and sparkling 
rose-pink with lighter center, iridescent orange un- 
dertone. Flowers are produced in very large quan- 
tities in bracts on stems 12 to 24 inches long; 
individual blooms 32 inches in diameter. Petals 
wavy and crested, forming charming cuplike, semi- 
double flowers which have from 24 to 36 petals. 
Excellent for cutting. Very sweetly scented. 
Foliage: Rich green, quite dark. We have never 
seen black spot or mildew on this variety in our 
test garden for 4 years. Would say absolutely 
mildew proof. 
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 12 to 14 feet. 
Canes are very plentiful which is in part responsible 
for the tremendous amount of flowers produced. 
Each $1.50, per 12 $15.00
