Dingee Famous Rambler Roses 



This great family of Climbing Roses has become so well and so favorably known that we do not consider 

 extended description necessary. The various Rambler Roses are absolutely essential to the modern Rose- 

 garden. All these Rambler Roses are hardy throughout the country, and once planted, become practically 

 permanent.

A rampant climber, it bears continuously enormous 

 clusters of brilliant crimson flowers from early spring 

 until frost. The youngest plants bloom profusely the 

 first year. Absolutely hardy everywhere and retain 

 the bright fresh green of its foliage all summer. Don't 

 fail to include this marvelous, hardy, everblooming 

 climbing Rose in your order. No matter how preten- 

 tious your home or how humble, this Rose will beau- 

 tify it with its magnificent clusters of brilliant crimson 

 flowers, which will fairly glow with their brilliancy of 

 color all summer.
