LARGE-FLOWERED HORVATH 
SETIGERA HYBRID 
(Color illustration, page 105.) 
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.

LARGE-FLOWERED APRICOT-PINK 
CLIMBER BY HORVATH 
(Color illustration, page 106.) 
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
