GIANT SCARLET CLIMBER 
ROSA XANTHINA HYBRID by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Brilliant scarlet-red of the same shade as Crimson Glory. “jij 
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 abun- 
dantly 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 dis- 
color 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: Can be successfully grown with protection in colder regions. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height about 8 to 10 feet. Canes are very plenti- 
ful, not overly thorny. Each $2.50, Doz. $25.00

spot has ever shown. 
Plant a dozen or more if you have the space. 
Yours very truly,
