Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses 



r 



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 flower- 

 ing hedges when trained on low supports. Also when 

 grown as individual specimen plants, as they soon form 

 a beautiful bush more ornamental than many hardy 

 shrubs. They can be kept trimmed into any shape or 

 height desired, and thus make a large, handsome bush 



A Thousand Beauties 



(German Tausendschoen) 



The most sensational Climbing Rose 

 yet introduced, not even barring Crimson 

 Rambler. A single cluster of flowers 

 is a bouquet in itself, hence the very 

 fitting name, "Thousand Beauties." 

 Blooming profusely from the begin- 

 ning of June until the last of July, the 

 flowers appear in large clusters (10 

 10 to 15 in cluster) of splendid 

 size and quite double. The 

 colors run from delicate bal- 

 sam to tender rose through the 

 intermediate shades of bright 

 rose and carmine, with white, 

 yellow and various other in- 

 describable tints showing. 

 There is no other Rose in cul- 

 tivation like it. It is a strong 

 grower, with but few thorns, 

 magnificent foliage, impervi- 

 ous against mildew and abso- 

 lutely hardy in the open 

 ground everywhere. It has 

 created a veritable sensation, 

 and has been awarded numer- 

 ous medals. The most re- 

 markable Rose of its kind in 

 the world.

Rose. No other concern offers such a complete 

 list of Climbing Roses as we, including, as it 

 does, all the new kinds, as well as the old tried 

 and true favorites which may be found spreading 

 their beauty all over our fair land. 



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 

 sections, require some slight protection in 

 the North. The same high quality of stock 

 distinguishing Dingee Roses, the same care 

 in propagation and growing 

 makes this class a most im- 

 portant one in our business.
