Climbing Roses 



Hardy Climbing Roses have the popular call. 

 They have become an absolute necessity for 

 beautifying the home, for training over porches, 

 verandas, trellises and pergolas, and they make 

 most beautiful flowering hedges when trained 

 on low supports. Also when grown as individual 

 specimen plants, as they soon form a beautiful 

 bush more ornamental than many hardy shrubs. 

 They can be kept trimmed into any shape or 

 height desired, and thus make a large, handsome 

 bush Rose. No other concern offers such a 

 complete list of Climbing Roses as we. All the 

 Climbing Roses in our unequaled list are on 

 their own roots — a most vital point in a Climbing 

 Rose. Unlike budded stock, once planted they 

 last a lifetime. Some are absolutely hardy in 

 the coldest parts of the country, while others 

 growing luxuriantly in the Middle and Southern 

 Sections require some slight protection in the 

 North. The same high quality of stock distin- 

 guishing Dingee Roses, the same care in propa- 

 gation and growing makes this class a most 

 important one in our business.

American Beauty 



American Beauty is perhaps the best known, most 

 popular and impressive Rose in cultivation. Big, 

 gloriously rich in fragrance, the flowers are simply 

 superb. Every Rose expert has longed to produce 

 this Queen of Beauty in climbing form through the 

 delicate science of hybridizing and cross breeding. 

 This is no ordinary Climbing Rose, but is a vigorous, 

 rampant, climbing type of the real American 

 Beauty, with its gorgeous flowers and its surpassing 

 fragrance. Immense blooms measuring 3 to 4 inches 

 in diameter; and each one is invariably produced on a 

 separate stem. The color is glowing crimson red, the 

 real American Beauty color. The foliage is magnifi- 

 cent and is an important feature in climbing Roses, for 

 without healthy, leathery foliage any climbing Rose is 

 a failure, because it is unsightly. Climbing American 

 Beauty has tough, beautiful, glossy green foliage, which 

 in itself i. Drnamental and retains its brightness during 

 the entire season. Absolutely hardy in all localities 

 and withstands the rigid winters of a temperature 10 

 to 25 degrees below zero without protection. Equally 

 satisic Dry in the warmer southern climates. For 

 single specimens, for pergolas, for climbing over ver- 

 andas, or any place that an ordinary vine will grow, 

 Climbing American Beauty will thrive. It does 

 not require any petting or coaxing. 



Remember, every plant is pot grown, and unlike 

 stock sold by nursery agents, is on its own roots. Once 

 planted, it practically lasts forever. 



Prune each spring as much as desired, keeping it 

 shaped as required. Train the growing shoots in any 

 shape and it will make a great sight.
