DINGEE HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 



Hardy Climbing Roses have become an absolute 

 necessity for beautifying the home, for training over 

 porches, verandas, trellises, and pergolas and for train- 

 ing of low supports to make the most beautiful flower- 

 ing hedges. They can also be grown as individual 

 specimen plants, when properly trained, for they can 

 be kept trimmf>d to anv shape. 



In recent 

 years great 

 advance has 

 been made 

 in the de- 

 velopment of 

 this class of 

 roses. Today

there are climbers that have blooms rivalling the Hy- 

 brid Teas, and even hardier than roses of the latter 

 class. However, some of the varieties are not as hardy 

 as others, and require some protection in the far north. 

 These will be indicated in the text. 



Due to the fact that these roses are hardy, and of ex- 

 tremely \-igorous growth, sending forth canes more than 

 ten feet long in a single year, they will survive many 

 winters if the proper kind of plants are used. The 

 growth is strong and hea>'>\ Dingee Hardy Climbers 

 are unexcelled. The size of the plants we send out is 

 very large, our stock is almost unlimited, and our list in- 

 cludes all the varieties that have shown their worth. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber 



Startling, vivid scarlet col- 

 ors have won for this Rose 

 well deserved recognition as 

 the most attractive chmber 

 ever introduced. It is a vigor- 

 ous grower, produces a mass 

 of bloom, and with its bright 

 colors, which are retained 

 without fading for a long 

 period, it makes the most 

 brilliant display imaginable. 

 Heavy, disease resistant foli- 

 age; great freedom of bloom. 

 Paul's Scarlet Chmber is the 

 winner of innumerable medals 

 for excellence, and is a Rose 

 that no one should be with- 

 out, for it is one that giN es 

 maximum returns with a 

 minimum of care. 

 Lady Gay. Flowers of a deh- 

 cate cherry-pink, which 

 fades to a soft white; deep 

 green foliage. 

 Gainsborough. An ex- 

 tremely beautiful Rose, 

 delicately tinted flesh, al- 

 most white, and lustrous 

 as satin. 

 Aviateur Bleriot. Saffron- 

 yeUow, center golden-yel- 

 low; full and double, flow- i 

 ering in clusters. 

 Tennessee Belle. Bright rosy 



blush; large and fragrant. 

 Rubin. Flowers are large | 

 and more double than Crimson Rambler; color 

 bright, shining crimson-scarlet. Hardy in aJl 

 localities. A strong, rampant climber. 

 Jean Girin (The ever-blooming Dorothy Perkins). The 

 flowers are sinular in form and color to the pink Doro tin- 

 Perkins. The chief merit of this rose is that after giving 

 a mass of bloom in June, unlike the other chmbers, it 

 blooms again. Cut ofi" aU of the old June blooms to 

 help the plant produce more flowers during the summer 

 and fall.
