GIANT DEEP PINK CLIMBER 
ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Clear, deep rose-pink of same shade as Dame Edith Helen. The 
flowers are huge, fully 5 to 6 inches across when fully open. Slow in opening, lasting 
a long time. The flowers, though large, are refined and equal the finest Hybrid Tea 
Rose. Flowers are produced abundantly on spur branches both on main stalk and 
laterals 1 to 2 feet long. They are stiff and bear their heavy load without bending. 
Flowers do not droop, having a very stiff neck, and have from 50 to 55 petals. The 
appearance of the plant is one of noble ruggedness. Without a doubt the finest pink 
large-flowered climber to date. (Color illustration, page 104.) 
Foliage: The rich, shining, bronzy green leaves are larger than those of the Ma- 
honia or Oregon Grape and are ornamental in themselves. 
Hordiness: Hardy without protection in the Temperate Zone. Can be successfully 
grown with protection in the cclder regions where growing Roses heretofore has not 
been possible or exceedingly difficult, 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height 14 to 15 feet. Each $2.09, Doz. $20.00

FRAGRANT WHITE CLIMBER 
WICHURAIANA-MULTIFLORA HYBRID by HORVATH 
A very hardy climber of robust growth. Disease resistant and exceedingly free 
blooming. The pure white individual flowers are often 2 inches in diameter and occur 
in large clusters. It is especially valuable where purity as well as profusion of bloom 
is essential. In addition we believe it to be the most fragrant of the Climbing Roses. 
The foliage is light and shiny green. It sparkles in sunlight and is ornamental in itself 
throughout the summer, blending perfectly with the pure white flowers. During its 
test period we have never seen any signs of black spot. Unquestionably one of the 
best hardy white Climbing Roses. (Color illustration, page 104.) ii

GIANT SCARLET CLIMBER 
ROSA XANTHINA HYBRID by HORVATH 
(Color illustration, page 103) 
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, al- 
though 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 flow- 
ers in perfect position. Flowers have from 55 to 
60 petals, do not discolor when fully open. With- 
out 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.
