 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 

 make most beautiful flowering hedges when 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 unequalled list are on their own 

 roots — a most vital point in a Climbing 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 

 Crimson Rambler. A single cluster of flowers is a 

 bouquet in itself, hence the very fitting name, 

 "Thousand Beauties." Blooming profusely from the 

 beginning of June until the last of July, the flowers 

 appear in large clusters (10 to 15 in a cluster) of 

 splendid size and quite double. The colors run from 

 delicate balsam to tender rose through the interme- 

 diate shades of bright rose and carmine, with white, 

 yellow and various other indescribable tints showing. 

 A strong grower, has few thorns; impervious to mil- 

 dew; hardy in the open ground everywhere.
