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 sectiors, 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.
