Gi Nessage from KM. SFt. Ftorvath 
My interest was early given to the development of better hardy Climbing | FURNAM SMITH 
Roses. In 1892 | obtained the first hybrid with the Rosa Wichuraiana of Japan. 

1026 KENILWORTH AVENUE 







thus beginning the modern strain of large-flowered hardy Climbing Roses. In CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA 
1897 | exhibited 14 new varieties at the first show held by the American Rose Wayside Gardens Co., April 28, 1942 
Society in the famous Eden Museé of New York City. These were seen and ad- Mentor, Ohio 
mired by many rosarians, with the result that many similar hybrids were made. me ee AG amaScarieriGlimbemRese cinon’

more sturdy Roses in varieties which would not require pampering but which, oun ver enna

Responding to this need, my new Rose originations cover the full range of 
colors, and many of these new Climbing Roses have flowers as large and fine 
as any existing Hybrid Tea. Further, as Dooryard or Hedge Roses has resulted 
a form and shape of plant not hitherto seen. See Maybelle Stearns, page 86. These results were accomplished through pains- 
taking and eventually successful experiments in the introduction of other species strains not previously used. 




| am working still further to augment these qualities so that Roses may be wintered over successfully even in the far North. 

It has been arranged to have The Wayside Gardens Company introduce and disseminate these new Roses of my origination. 
Several dozens of new creations are under test, but only those of decided merit will be marketed. The varieties offered this 
year, each one well worth while in itself, form, | believe, the beginning of a new and most valuable strain of Roses. They will 
be offered under the designation of ‘’Horvath’s Setigera and X anthina Hybrids.’ Respectfully yours, M.H. HORVATH.

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 Y2 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

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 this 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- 
mentai 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.
