Dingee Famous Hardy 

 Hybrid Perpetual Roses 



There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual 

 Roses, or "June Roses," as they are sometimes 

 called, are the most valuable of all hardy plants. 

 They are of vigorous, upright growth, have large, 

 bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 or 6 inches in 

 diameter, and are deliciously fragrant. These Roses 

 will succeed in any locality and are so hardy that 

 they will live through the severest winters with but 

 a light protection of leaves or coarse manure. 

 Some of the kinds do not bloom until the second 

 year, but, when fully established, they all bloom 

 freely at the usual time, early in the season. The 

 Hybrid Perpetuals will withstand hardship and 

 neglect, but give much better results with good 

 cultivation and rich soil. Always plant in open 

 ground, as these Roses are not suitable for house cul- 

 ture. Our collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is by far 

 the best in the country. Plants strong, hardy, on 

 own roots.
