Weda (U. S. Plant Patent No. 518) 
LARGE-FLOWERED SHRIMP-PINK CLIMBER 
ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
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 rose-pink has been 
reached. The petals are imbricated and artistically formed, re- 
sembling 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% to 4 inches across. The substance of the 
flower petals is astounding, it seems impossible to crush them. 
They withstand adverse weather, high winds without damage, un- 
like anything yet produced in Roses. Last, but not least, the fra- 
grance of this variety is delightful, almost spicy and very intense. 
Foliage: Leaves are of leathery texture, deep bottle-green and 
practically immune 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 
resemble 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 re- 
semble closely the trained trees of the old world. 
Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00

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 3/2 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
