Dingee Hardy Climbing Hybrid Tea Roses 



The Roses on this and the next two pages are 

 noted for the exquisite beauty of their flowers, 

 rivaling, as they do, those of the Hybrid Tea 

 class. They are all wonderfully strong growing, 

 hardy and vigorous, and in constant bloom all 

 summer. In the middle sections of the country 

 and in the Northwest they thrive and bloom most 

 luxuriantly, while in the warmer sections they 

 fairly run riot in their glory of growth and bloom, 

 Even in the coldest Northern States they grow 

 to perfection, but will require some slight pro- 

 tection in winter. 



^ Climbing Pink Killarney 



Some six years ago we offered for the first time 

 a climbing type of the famous pink Rose Killar- 

 ney, the most celebrated Hybrid Tea of its color 

 yet introduced. Repeated trials both in our 

 grounds and by our friends who purchased this 

 marvelous Rose, and who have written very en- 

 thusiastic letters about it, confirm the statements 

 we made in regard to it. The beautiful flowers 

 of this w^onderful Rose are identical with the par- 

 ent variety, but the bush is of the climbing habit 

 of growth, placing it at once in a class by itself. 

 It is a strong, rapid grower, growing to perfection 

 in the open ground, throwing up shoots 10 to 15 

 feet high in a single season, and is entirely hardy. 

 It blooms continuously throughout the season, 

 and the flowers are magnificent beyond descrip- 

 tion, immense, long, pointed buds with massive 

 petals, opening into flowers of enormous size; 

 color deep pink, bright and sparkling, an exquis- 

 ite shade, deliciously fragrant; in fact, one of the 

 greatest riew Roses we have ever offered. Our 

 stock is limited. Early orders are therefore ad- 

 visable, even if you do not wish to plant at once. 

 We will carefully set aside the plants, delivering 

 them at any time desired. 



*CLIMBING WHITE KILLARNEY — An exact 

 counterpart of the bush Rose White Killarney, but 

 a vigorous climber. Produces blooms of purest 

 white of same formation, and on single stems the 

 same as the bush Rose. Hardy everywhere, and 

 blooms all season. 



GAINSBOROUGH— An extremely beautiful Rose, 

 delicately tinted flesh, almost white and lustrous 

 as satin. A discriminating admirer compared the 

 flower to a beautiful young lady wearing a Gains- 

 borough hat ornamented with white ostrich 

 plumes; hence the name.
