 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 

 nake most beautiful flowering hedges v^hen 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 CHmbing 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 

 distinguishing Dingee Roses, the same care in propagation and 

 growing makes this class a most important one in our business. 



" ^A Thousand Beauties 



German Tausendschoen). The most sensational 

 Climbing Rose yet introduced, not even barring Crim- 

 son Rambler. A single cluster of flowers is a bouquet 

 in itself; hence the verj^ fitting name, ''Thousand 

 Beauties." Blooming profusel}- from the beginning 

 of June until the last of Jul}^ the flowers appear in 

 large clusters (10 to 15 in a cluster) of splendid size 

 and quite double. The colors run from delicate bal- 

 sam to tender rose through the intermediate shades of 

 bright rose and carmine, with white, yellow and 

 various other indescribable tints showing. A strong 

 grower, has few thorns; impervious to mildew; hardy 

 in the open ground everywhere.
