WINTER AND SPRING FLOWERING BULBS AND PLANTS

Dingee Hardy 

 Climbing Hybrid 

 Tea Roses 



The Roses on this page are noted for 

 tlie exquisite beauty of their flowers, 

 rivaling, as they do, those of the 

 Hybrid Tea class. They are all won- 

 derfully strong growing, hardy and vigorous, and in 

 constant bloom all summer. In the middle sections of 

 the country and in the Northwest they thrive and 

 bloom most luxuriantly, while in the warmer sections 

 they fairly run riot in their glory of growth and 

 bloom. Even in the coldest Northern States they grow 

 to perfection, but will require some slight protection 

 in winter. 



Climbing Gruss an Teplitz 



or VIRGINIA R. COXE— A valuable addition to this class of 

 Roses so rapidly coming into popularity on account of their 

 blooming qualities. This is an exact counterpart of the 

 bush Rose Gruss an Teplitz, but a vigorous climber, attain- 

 ing a height of 10 to 15 feet in a single season. When it 

 first blooms in the spring it is a dazzling sheet of velvety 

 crimson. 



MRS. Hubert PEARY — a strong and rapid grower, coming 

 to perfection in the open ground. The buds are long and 

 pointed, finely modeled and gracefully finished, while the 

 fragrance is indeed delicious. The flowers when open are 

 of splendid substance, extra large, deep and double, pro- 

 duced on long, stiff stems. Color pure white, 



CLIMBING METEOR — A sport from Meteor, famous for Its 

 magnificent flowers. True climbing habit, attaining a height 

 of 10 to 15 feet in a single season. Dark velvety crimson, 

 the equal of any Rose in cultivation.

 producing large, delicate, pink flowers in abundance, 



CLIMBING WOOTQN - Superbly formed flowers in won- 

 derful profusion, of bright magenta-red, passing to 

 violet crimson, richly shaded. 



MARECHAL NIEL - This is the wonderful garden Rose 

 our friends in the Southland are so fortunate in being 

 able to grow in their gardens to perfection, and 

 which yields such splendid returns if given slight 

 protection and care in the North. Buds and flowers 

 superb ; extra large, very double and deliciously 

 perfumed. Deep golden yellow. Blooms with great- 

 est freedom. In the North, should have very careful 

 protection in open ground during winter.

Climbing White Maman Cochet 



The exquisite white flowers, every one of which is 

 a perfect specimen of the White Maman Cochet Rose, 

 are borne in great profusion, fairly covering the plant 

 all summer, for it is one of the most constant bloomers 

 of all the white climbing Roses, It is absolutely 



hardy, except in the extreme North, where it requires 

 some slight protection. It is a strong, vigorous 

 grower, throwing up strong canes 15 to 20 feet long in 

 a single season. 



Climbing Pink Maman Cochet 



A pure Maman Cochet Rose of the climbing habit, 

 and as there is no Rose that is as popular as the 

 Cochets we feel confident in offering this climbing 

 Rose to the rose-loving public that it will prove to be 

 as popular as the Bush Rose of this name, as it is an 

 exact counterpart of the bush variety. As free bloom- 

 ing as the Cochets, which will without doubt make it 

 a very valuable addition to the climbing roses, suffi- 

 ciently hardy to withstand the vigor of the northern 

 winters with some protection, and blooming throughout 

 the growing season,
