22 AUTUMN EDITION, DINGEE GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



♦The Blue Rose (Veilchenblau, or Vio- 

 let-Blue). One of the most unique intro- 

 ductions in Roses in a generation. A won- 

 derfully rampant grower, bearing great

 in the history of Rose-growing. The foli- 

 age is large, healthy, a beautiful shade of 

 green and immune from attacks of insects. 



DINGEE HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 



ARDY Climbing Roses have the popular call. They have become an abso- 

 lute 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 abso- 

 lutely hardy in the coldest parts of the country, while others, growing lux- 

 uriantly in the middle and southern sections, require some slight protection in the North.

 of the famous pink Rose, Killarney. A 

 strong, rapid grower, and is entirely 

 hardy. It blooms continuously. 

 CLIMBING CLOTILDE SOUPERT. 

 An offspring of that famous Rose, Clotilde 

 Soupert, this beautiful hardy, everblooming 

 climber is excellent in every way. Produces

 out the entire growing season, — 

 ivory-white, large, round, per-

 which is delightful. Also in mas-
