cult to describe. Buds ovoid, deep amber colored, 
opening into large cup-shaped flowers which are pro- 
duced on spur branches both on main stock and lat- 
erals, 12 to 15 inches long. This is the amber-colored ae 
form of Doubloons.

fected by black spot or other Rose maladies.

tofore has not been possible or exceedingly difficult.

Canes are very plentiful which is in part responsible 
for the tremendous amount of flowers produced.

CLIMBING ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID 
by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Lively, brilliant and sparkling rose-pink with 
lighter center, iridescent orange undertone. Flowers are produced 
in very large quantities in bracts on stems 12 to 24 inches long; 
individual blooms 3 Y2 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 four years. Would 
say absolutely mildew proof. 
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 exceed- 
ingly 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, Doz. $15.00
