Dingee Famous Hybrid Tea Roses 



This class of Roses has the meritorious advantage of blooming continuously the 

 first year like the Tea Roses, while their large, finely-formed flowers and delicious 

 fragrance, diversity of color and constitution to stand Winters with slight pro- 

 tection, make them best for general planting and like the Tea Roses. 



The Best Roses for Winter Blooming 



There are none better for Winter blooming. They are sure to give 

 the utmost satisfaction. The plants have been specially prepared for 

 the purpose, and are strong, stocky and thrifty. When received, plant 

 in four-inch pots or boxes, water freely and give as much light 

 and sunshine as possible.

A Magnificent New Crimson Garden Rose. 



"As large as American Beauty, as double as La France and as 

 red as Richmond," is the enthusiastic way the originator de- 

 scribes this beautiful new Hybrid Tea Bush Rose. The color is 

 vivid scarlet-crimson, and the flowers are marvels of beauty, 

 large, bold and of splendid substance. It has a strong, disease- 

 resisting constitution, makes a rapid growth and throws up a 

 profusion of canes from the roots and is always blooming. As an 

 around garden bush Rose it has no superior. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. The greatest hardy, white Hybrid Tea 

 Rose in existence. A strong, sturdy grower ; free-flowering ; it has 

 become the most popular of all .vhite Roses for general planting.

 the large, double flowers are glorious in their perfection ; borne on 

 long, stiff stems ; delicate pure white, deliciously fragrant. Unex-

 fusely from May until October. Every shoot carries

 but a faint idea of the superb beauty and richness of 

 the shades. Salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. Buds of 

 unusual attractiveness, opening full and double. Habit 

 excellent, growth strong, produces flowers on long stems, 

 standing well up above the foliage, and in great pro- 

 fusion all Summer. Hardy in almost all localities.

This magnificent Rose is exceedingly free blooming, 

 with very large, finely formed flowers. The color is a 

 distinct and charming shade of cherry-red. The fine 

 form and attractive shape of the flowers makes them 

 excellent for cutting. It is a remarkable strong-growing 

 variety, as hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals, free bloom- 

 ing and in every way a splendid garden Rose. 



Mme. Melanie Soupert. The flowers are bright golden- 

 yellow suffused with faint tinges of pink, with a 

 handsome and distinct form, making a Rose of great 

 beauty. It is a strong, vigorous grower, very hardy, 

 and forms a handsome bush in the garden.

 lar flowers ; fine salmon-rose ; finely edged violet-

 richness and depth of color, which is a rich, velvety

 gant form, full and double. As a garden Rose it has 

 few equals^ being particularly valuable for bedding on
