Dingee Famous Hardy 

 June Roses 



There is little question that Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses, or "June Roses," as 

 they are sometimes called, are the most 

 valuable of all hardy plants. They are of 

 vigorous, upright growth, have large, 

 bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 to 6 

 inches in diameter, and are deliciously 

 fragrant. These Roses will succeed in any 

 locality and are so hardy that they will 

 live through the severest winters with 

 but a light protection of leaves or coarse 

 manure. Some of the kinds do not bloom 

 until the second year, but, when fully 

 established, they all bloom freely at the 

 usual time, early in the season. The 

 Hybrid Perpetuals will stand hardship 

 and neglect, but give much better results 

 with good cultivation and rich soil. Al- 

 ways plant in open ground, as these Roses 

 are not suitable for house culture. Our 

 collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is by far 

 the best in the country. The plants we 

 send out are strong and hearty and on 

 own roots. Fall is the most suitable time 

 for planting these.

 except where noted: First-size, 30 

 cts. each: 4 for $1.00. Two-year-old

An intense deep scarlet-rose, shaded 

 blackish-crimson, color like the sheen of a 

 plum, often 7 inches in diameter and 5 

 inches deep. J. B. Clark has created a 

 great sensation throughout the United 

 States and Europe. A wonderfully strong 

 and upright grower, exceedingly vigorous, 

 with splendid and heavy dark bronze- 

 green foliage. The glory of the plant is in 

 its flowers, however, as they are extra- 

 ordinary in size, full and double, wonderfully frag- 

 rant, of great depth, and borne freely from the first 

 year, on long, stiff stems. This Rose has proven 

 hardy, even in Canada, and a genuine treat is in 

 store for everyone who plants it. We have a large 

 stock of own-root plants, all in splendid condition.

Gloire Lyonnaise 

 Brilliant White Rose 



Great Roses are made all the greater by the 

 publicity given them. Frequently a variety of more 

 than ordinary worth is allowed to "waste its sweet- 

 ness on the desert air" because the public is un- 

 acquainted with its merits. This is especially true of 

 this great variety. Makes strong, upright bush, 

 with beautiful deep green foliage ; practically thorn- 

 less. While a Hybrid Perpetual, yet like the Hybrid 

 Tea Roses, bears in greatest profusion large, pointed 

 buds and massive flowers on long, stiff heavy shoots; 

 the open flower is enormous, full deep and double. 

 Rich creamy-white, passing, when open, to a pale 

 shade cf salmon-yellow, deepest at the center. Ab- 

 solutely hardy everywhere.

 over for its large, handsome, fragrant flowers, and 

 the freedom with which they are produced. The 

 color is a deep, rich velvety crimson, passing to 

 intense maroon, shaded black. 

 Vick's Caprice. Flowers large and slightly cup- 

 shaped but full and deep ; petals thick and lasting 

 having the ground color clear, satiny pink, dis- 

 tinctly striped and dashed with white and bright 

 carmine. Blooms freely at short intervals during 

 the whole season. 

 Marshall P. Wilder. Flowers large, semi-globular, 

 full and of good substance; bright scarlet- 

 crimson, richly shaded with maroon. 

 Louis Van Houtte. Brilliant vinous crimson; 

 large, full and fragrant; an excellent sort and one 

 that we recommend most highly. 

 Mad. Alfred Carriere. Extra large, full flowers; 

 very double and sweet ; rich, creamy- white faintly 

 tinged with pale yellow. 

 Clio. A really grand Rose. On the order of 

 Baroness Rothschild. Recommended by expert
