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 32 inches in diameter. 
Petals wavy and crested, forming charming cup- 
like, semi-double flowers which have from 24 to 
36 petals. Excellent for cutting. Very sweetly 
scented. (Color illustration, page 103.) 
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 18 to 20 feet. 
Canes are very plentiful which is in part re- 
sponsibie for the tremendous amount of flowers 
produced. Give ample room. Is a bold, fact 
grower. Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00

LARGE-FLOWERED SHRIMP-PINK CLIMBER 
ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
(Color illustration, page 103.) 
Color of Flower: The outer petals are a beautiful pale buff-shrimp-pink, increasing 
in intensity to a deeper and richer shading towards the center, until a beautiful tone 
of carmine-pink has been reached. The petals are imbricated and artistically formed, 
resembling dozens of shining seashells, shaping the flower into the perfect form of a 
Hybrid Tea Rose. The flowers occur singly or in clusters of three on side laterals which 
are 10 to 12 inches long, a perfect length for cutting. The buds are perfectly formed 
and open into flowers with high centers. The size of the flowers when fully open 
measures 3/2 to 4 inches across. The substance: of the flower peta!s is astounding, it 
seems impossible to crush them. They withstand adverse weather, high winds without 
any damage, unlike anything yet produced in Roses. Last, but not least, the fragrance 
of this variety is delightful, almost spicy and very intense. 
Foliage: The leaves are of leathery texture, colored deep bottle-green and prac- 
tically immune to black spot, mildew, or other Rose maladies. 
Hardiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate Zone. Can be successfully 
grown with protection in the colder regions. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 10 to 12 feet. Stems are heavy and cane- 
like, requiring not much of any support. Climbing Rose Meda can be grown to re- 
semble a huge Rose bush, simply by cutting back the stiff branches to three, four or 
five feet, or whatever size bush is desired. Try growing it flat against the wall of 
your house or other buildings.
