''CHARLES DINGEE'* 



The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the World 



The "Charles Dingee Rose" is the result of cross- 

 breeding between Hermosa, that grand old hardy pink 

 variety, and White Maman Cochet, perhaps the 

 greatest of all white garden Roses — a superb parentage, 

 which insures its offspring every point of excellence. 

 With the hardy vigorous constitution of a Hybrid 

 Perpetual, growing to perfection in almost any soil or 

 situation, it has the most magnificent foliage, absolutely 

 free from disease, that we have ever seen on any Rose. 



Growing to a height of 2 to 3 feet, Charles Dingee 

 blooms continuously, producing immense, deep, double, 

 grandly formed flowers on long, stiff, erect stems; both 

 in bud and bloom their beauty is nothing short of 

 superb, practically impossible to describe because of the 

 delicate blending of colors — rose tints in the centers of 

 the flower, gradually shading off into pale blush creamy 

 white, a color effect both entirely new and distinct, 

 exquisitely beautiful. 



F. R. Patzer — A Rose of striking and pleasing appear- 

 ance, owing to the delicate blending of color, which 

 is a creamy-buff, with the reverse of petals a delicate 

 warm pink, and as they expand the color becomes a 

 light orange pink. 



Charles Dingee a Great Rose 



Great Crimson Rose Etoile de Holland 



New Jersey — Two years ago I purchased several two and 

 three year old Rose bushes. The Charles Dingee was one of them. 

 This year I had wonderful blooms on them, especially Charles 

 Dingee had beautiful colored blooms. It is a wonderful rose and a 

 fine bloomer. It has several fine blooms on bush at this writing. — 

 J. K., Newark.
