GIANT SCARLET CLIMBER, ROSA 
XANTHINA HYBRID by HORVATH 
Color of Flower: Brilliant scarlet-red 
of the same shade as Crimson 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 hand- 
some 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 posi- 
tion. 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 plenti- 
ful, not overly thorny. 
Each $2.00, Doz. $20.00 

Horvath Climbing Rose, Buff King 
Buff King 
Color of Flower: Amber and buff shadings, difficult to describe. Buds 
ovoid, deep amber colored, opening into large cup-shaped flowers which are 
produced on spur branches both on main stock and laterals, 12 to 15 inches 
long. This is the amber colored form of Doubloons. 
Foliage: Glaucous green and healthy. Seldom affected by biack spot or 
other Rose maladies. 
Hardiness: Can be successfully grown with protection in the colder re- 
gions where growing Roses heretofore has not been possible or exceedingly 
difficult. 
Size of Plant: Ultimate height 10 to 12 feet. Canes are very plentiful 
which is in part responsible for the tremendous amount of flowers produced,
