Dingee Ever-blooming Tea Roses 



The Best for Winter Blooming 



While not so hardy as the Hybrid Teas or 

 Hybrid Perpetuals, yet with protection they 

 will live through the winters in almost all 

 sections of the country, except in the extreme 

 North. In the South they are unexcelled, 

 whether planted in the open ground or used 

 for pot culture. The fact that one-year-old 

 plants produce a profusion of flowers makes 

 them indispensable to every Rose-lover. 



The Wonderful Rose 

 Charles Dingee 



Note photographs in natural colors on out- 

 side back cover. 



The almost unlimited resources of our great 

 West Grove greenhouses have been severely 

 taxed to propagate enough plants of this re- 

 markable Rose to meet the demands for it, 

 and even now we have not an oversupply. 

 The unprecedented demand for this remark- 

 able Rose was so great last spring that it 

 almost exhausted our immense stock, and we 

 can offer only one-year and two-year plants 

 at this time. Charles Dingee Rose blooms 

 continuously, producing immense, deep, 

 double, grandly formed flowers on long, stiff 

 stems, the beauty of which is nothing short 

 of superb. The color is a delicate blending 

 of rose tints in the center, which gradually 

 shade off into pale blush and creamy white. 

 For winter culture indoors, in pots or boxes, 

 it cannot be surpassed. It is never out of 

 bloom. Strong', special-size plants. 25 cts. 

 each, five for $1. $2.50 per doz.; two-year-old 

 plants, 60 cts. each. $6 per doz.; 65 cts. each 

 by parcel post, with soil on roots.

The Bride 



There is no other white Rose more satisfactory than 

 The Bride. When planted in the open ground, the 

 flowers are sometimes found to be delicately tinted 

 with pink, making it exceedingly attractive. The 

 buds and flowers are unusually large, well formed 

 and deliciously perfumed. 



Bridesmaid. This variety is valuable for cutting and 

 does finely in the open ground; a sport from the old 

 and popular pink Tea, Catherine Mermet, but of a 

 fine, clear, dark pink, much deeper and more con- 

 stant in color than Mermet. The bush Is a strong, 

 sturdy grower, bearing all summer a profusion of 

 dainty, beautiful flowers. 



Marie Van Houtte. 



It is a strong and sturdy grower, 

 blooming constant- 

 ly, with great free- 

 dom. The color 

 of the flowers, 

 which are large, 

 full and double, is 

 pale canary-yellow, 

 passing to rich, 

 creamy white 

 shaded with pale 

 rose. 



Marie Gulllot. We 



recommend it as 

 one of the most 

 reliable white Tea 

 Roses In cultiva- 

 tion especially for 

 outdoor culture. 

 The color is pure 

 white, sometimes 

 faintly tinged pale 

 yellow. The flow- 

 ers are beautifully 

 made, very large, 

 full and double; 

 the buds are very 

 pretty, of sweet 

 fragrance.
