GIANT SCARLET CLIMBER 
ROSA XANTHINA HYBRID by HORVATH 
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 position. Flowers have from 55 to 60 petals, do not 
discolor when fully open. 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. No 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 filed in 
rotation as received. Late orders will be filled in autumn.
