Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses 
Hardy Climbing Roses have the popular call. They have become 
an absolute necessity for beautifying the home, for training over 
porches, verandas, trellises and pergolas, and they make most 
beautiful flowering hedges when trained on low supports. All the 
Climbing Roses in our unequalled list are on their own roots—a 
most vital point in a Climbing Rose. Some are absolutely hardy in 
the coldest parts of the country, while others, growing luxuriantly 
in the middle and southern sections, require some slight protection 
in the north. Fall planting is particularly recommended for 
this class of Rose, as they make much better growth the following 
season than if planted in the spring. They are pot-grown and in the 
right condition. Order early and give them a chance to establish. 
Price, first size, 25 cts. each; 5 for $1.00; two-year-old 
plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz., by express; 85 cts. each by 
parcel post, with soil.
