WHEN AND HOW TO PLANT 



Plant after all danger of heavy frost is past and any time thereafter that 

 suits your convenience. No closed season for planting OUR roses. They can be 

 set out any time with entire safety during the growing season, Spring, Summer 

 or Fall. Immediate blooming results can be had any time. No set rule as to the 

 distance apart. 15-18-24 inches apart according to your conditions. Plant to suit 

 your space. Plant well down into the soil, firm thoroughly around the roots, 

 leaving a slight depression around the plant to hold moisture. After planting, pour 

 plenty of water around the roots until you are sure the plant is wet clear to the 

 bottom. This first heavy watering is important. After that water lightly. Don't 

 keep plants wet. New roots are developed when they dry out from time to time. 

 Syringe the foliage with water under pressure frequently. Cut the flowers as they 

 appear. They will give you more flowers if you do. Ordinary good garden soil will 

 grow beautiful roses. Well rotted cow manure may be used to advantage as a 

 mulch. 



Winter protection — Don't put protection around plants until freezing weather 

 comes, then heap up soil around them until they are pretty well covered. Remove 

 the soil gradually in the Spring, not too early. If the tops are winter killed, 

 Dingee roses have this great advantage — they will come from the roots again, so, 

 if any part of the root is left you still have a rose plant but with Nursery-grown, 

 wild root rose plants when the tops are killed there is nothing left but a wild rose. 



Dingee roses are the most enduring, valuable roses grown in America. It is 

 not unusual for them to last a life time. 



Write us when you need assistance. We will cheerfully aid you in every way 

 possible. 



WHAT OTHERS THINK OF OUR OWN ROOT ROSES 



I still have several very pretty Rose bushes purchased from you 15 years ago. 



Respectfully, 

 William J. Gubbins (New York). 

 Gentlemen: — 



I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed the 

 Roses last summer. They Avere only 20c ones and almost dried out before they 

 reached here the first of May. They grew marvelously and all were blooming 

 by the first of July, some bloomed all the time till after frost. 



I certainly am pleased with the Radiance Set. They are as nice as flowers 

 ?old at the florists' for $1.00 a dozen for cut flowers. 



Sincerely yours, 

 Mrs. Frank Wood Paul (Iowa), 

 "^oar Sirs: — 



I have a garden full of Grafted Roses and I do not care for them and this 

 'ear I purchased several Own Root from your company and they are nice bushes. 

 Many of them bloomed up to last week especially the 3 year old Briarcliff. 

 : assure you your Own Rooted Roses surprised me by blooming up to November 

 !lst and I only purchased them in late summer. 



Yours truly, 



Joseph Kunkel (New Jersey). 

 )ear Sirs : — 



Last fall late I received about 20 one year old Rose bushes. When they 

 irrived I was quite surprised to see such small bushes as the Western Roses a 

 ■ear old are great deal larger but every one had grown and are already leafing 

 )ut. It was quite a surprise to me as we have had an unusually hard winter. 

 [ know I haven't lost one of them and they will all bloom this year as the 

 growth they have made they certainly are fine healthy plants. 



I don't believe there is any Rose more beautiful than Charles Dingee. 

 Vlany people have asked my Mother the name and where to get it. She has had 

 lers several years now and still thinks it one of the prettiest. 



Yours very truly, 



Lillian D. Coffin (Oregon).
