GIANT SCARLET CLIMBER, 
OY ROSA XANTHINA HYBRID by HORVATH 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 387) 
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 per- 
fectly 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 
claimed this to be his finest creation in red Roses and, it has not yet 
been surpassed. 
Foliage: Rich bottle-green, quite abundant. No mildew or black-spot 
in our test garden for 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 $2.00, Three $5.25, Doz. $21.00
