GIANT SCARLET CLIMBER 
ROSA XANTHINA HYBRID by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Brilliant scarlet-red of the same shade as Crim- 
son Glory. 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 abundantly 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 
discolor 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 plentiful, not overly thorny. 
Each $2.50, Doz. $25.00

LARGE-FLOWERED CLEAR YELLOW CLIMBER 
ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Clear sparkling golden yellow flowers in clus- 
ters on spur branches. Flowers are open and cup-shaped. Buds

in form when fully open but of much better, clearer yellow. 
Foliage: Light green and shiny. No mildew or black spot in test 
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 plentiful and not overly thorny. Exceptionally fine variety for 
tying flat against fence or wall.

CLIMBING ROSA SETIGERA HYBRID 
by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Lively, brilliant and sparkling rose-pink with 
lighter center, iridescent orange undertone. Flowers are pro- 
duced in very large quantities in bracts on stems 12 to 24 inche 
long; individual blooms 32 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
