Dingee Hardy Climbing 



Hybrid Tea Roses 



These climbing roses are noted for the exquisite 

 beauty of their flowers, equalHng the Hybrid Teas. 

 They are strong growing, vigorous, and bloom freely all 

 summer. They are not as hardy as the climbers described 

 in a former part of this book, yet they survive the coldest 

 winters in the district of Philadelphia without the slightest 

 attention and with protection can withstand very severe 

 weather. In the warmer sections of the country, they 

 fairly run riot in their glory of bloom, and present the 

 most wonderful display of beauty imaginable. 



Nowhere can you find a more complete list of these roses than in 

 the following pages. For years we have maintained an exceptionally 

 large stock. And all these plants are on their own roots, which, of 

 course, means permanency.
