Hardy Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Roses on this and the next page are noted for the 

 exquisite beauty of their flowers, rivaling, as they do, 

 those of the Hybrid Tea Class. They are all wonderfully 

 strong and 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 ^ X 

 most luxuriantly, ^ V 

 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 protection in 

 winter.

 ing into popularity on account of their blooming qualitie; 

 This is an exact counterpart of the bush Rose Gruss a 

 Teplitz, but a vigorous climber, attaining a height of 10 t 

 15 feet in a single season. When it first blooms in th

 bloom is produced singly on long stems, the same as th 

 bush variety so well known. It pro 

 duces blooms throughout the grow, 

 ing season. Price, strong first sizi

Mrs, Robert Peary 



The Great White, Hardy, Everblooming Climbing Rose 



Introduced by The Dingee & Conard Co. 



A strong and rapid grower, coming to perfection in 

 the open ground. It is as hardy as any hybrid per- 

 petual or Moss Rose and will withstand the most severe 

 winters unprotected. Small plants of Mrs. Robert 

 Peary will bloom continuously throughout the season 

 and the flowers are magnificent beyond description. 

 The buds are long and pointed, finely modeled and 

 gracefully finished, while the fragrance is indeed deli- 

 cious. The flowers, when open, are of splendid sub- 

 stance, extra large, deep and double, produced on long, 

 stiff stems, like those of a forcing Rose.

 Dorothy Perkins, with flowers growing in splendid 

 clusters and of remarkably vigorous growth and 

 handsome foliage. Dark green foliage and free from
