All Roses on pages 10 to 23 are strong pot-grown plants 

 that may be planted in the open ground any time during 

 the year after heavy frosts are past. Especially good for 

 planting in most of the country in April, May, June, July, 

 August, September. Grown in large pots, they are on 

 their own roots and give magnificent results.

Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses 



OWN ROOT POTTED PLANTS 



Birdie Blye — One of the Everblooming hardy chmbers. 

 Always in bloom. Perfectly hardy. Good strong grower. 

 FoHage bright glossy green and free from insects or disease. 

 Blooms full and double over three inches in diameter. Color 

 a bright carmine, changing to bright rose. 



Thousand Beauties — Large flowers with ruffled petals, 

 borne in enormous trusses, from 10 to 15 in a cluster. Colors 

 vary through shades of yellow, cream and rose pink. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet — Flowers when open run four inches and 

 over in diameter. The center is built high, petals beauti- 

 fully undulated and cupped. The color is a remarkably 

 delicate shade of flesh-pink on the outer surface, deepening 

 to rosy flesh in the center. Flowers full, double, of deUcate 

 perfume; buds pointed. 



Mrs. Robert Peary — Blooms throughout the season and 

 the flowers are magnificent beyond description. The buds 

 are long and pointed, finely modeled. Pure white. 



Excelsa — A remarkable grower, free from insects and pro- 

 ducing a great quantity of blooms of crimson maroon with 

 the tips of the petals scarlet. 



Veilchen Blau or Violet Blue — The Blue Rose is one of 

 the most rampant growers we have ever seen, covering a 

 large porch in a single season. The flowers are borne in 

 loose clusters and are a delightful shade of blue — something 

 entirely different from any other Rose. 



American Pillar — The flowers are produced in profusion, 

 fairly covering the bush, color bright pink. In the fall, the 

 red berries are highly ornamental. 



Climbing Gruss an Teplitz — This is an exact counterpart 

 of the Bush Rose Gruss an Tephtz, but a vigorous climber, 

 attaining a height of 10 

 to 15 feet in a single 

 season. When it first 

 blooms in the spring it 

 is a dazzhng sheet of 

 velvety crimson. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber 



Paul's Scarlet Climber — It probably is the most 

 attractive cHmbing Rose of the pillar type ever 

 introduced. The blooms come in massive profusion, 

 retain their color a long time without fading and 

 the color is a most vi\ad scarlet. The indi\adual 

 flowers are large. It makes the most briUiant dis- 

 play of any Rose of this type, new or old, now 

 kno-wTi. It -^ill hold its popularity indefinitely be- 

 cause of its great merit. Perfectly hardy every- 

 where. 



Mme. Gregoire Staechelin — A new type of climb- 

 ing Rose from Spain. Cross between the popular 

 variety Frau Karl Druschki and Chateau de Clos 

 Vougeot, and it seems to have inherited the good 

 qualities of both. Long pointed buds of crimson at 

 first, then as the blooms expand show splashes of 

 carmine with pear pink inside. 



Alberic Barbier — A thrifty yellow; flowers are 

 bright and full, very fragrant.
