LARGE-FLOWERED SHRIMP-PINK CLIMBER 
ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: The outer petals are a beautiful pale buff-shrimp-pink, increas- 
ing in intensity to a deeper and richer shading towards the center, until a beautiful 
tone of rose-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 petals is astound- 
ing, it seems impossible to crush them. They withstand adverse weather, high winds

Gentlemen: 
In making a report on the planting of 50 Thor, 
Horvath Roses, the Riverview Garden Club wishes 
me to express their appreciation of its excellent 
behavior. The Roses have been satisfactory in 
every respect. The plants are sturdy and are 
vigorous growers with long stems, having clusters 
of from three to seven flowers on each stem, 
making a gorgeous display of vivid color. 
Thor meets all the requirements for roadside and 
parkway planting and we are happy to recom- 
mend their use and your splendid service in sup- 
plying them. 
without damage, unlike anything yet produced in Roses. 
mune to black spot, mildew, or other Rose maladies. 
Hardiness: Can be successfully grown with protection in the 
colder regions. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 10 to 12 feet. Stems are 
heavy and canelike, requiring little support. Can be grown to re- 
semble a huge Rose bush, by cutting back 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 building. It will resemble 
closely the trained trees of the old world.

New Horvath Climbing Rose, Meda 
Sabai (U. S. Plant Patent No. 296) 
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. 
Foliage: The rich, shining, bronzy green leaves are larger 
than those of the Mahonia or Oregon Grape and are orna- 
mental in themselves. 
Hardiness: 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 14 to 15 feet. 
Each $2.50, Doz. $25.00
