Paul's Scarlet Climber 



Paul's Scarlet Climber — Still continues to be the 

 most popular scarlet climbing Rose. As this is 

 written, November 1st, on our grounds it is still 

 in bloom outdoors after ice has formed pretty 

 generalh" which means that it blooms very fre- 

 quently, as in this case, early and late. We do not 

 guarantee this but we record it as a fact that it is 

 now in bloom. It probably is the most attractive 

 chmbing Rose of the pillar type ever introduced. 

 The blooms come in massive profusion, retain 

 their color a long time without fading and the 

 color is a most vivid scarlet. The individual 

 flowers are large. It makes the most brilliant dis- 

 play of any Rose of this type, new or old, now 

 known. It will hold its popularity indefinitelj^ be- 

 cause of its great merit. Perfecth^ hardy ever}'- 

 where.

 bright and full, very fragrant. 



Bess Lovett — Resembles Climbing American Beau- 

 ty in shape of bloom, but is very much brighter in 

 color and much more fragrant. Flowers are clear 

 bright red of good size, and of double, full, cupped 

 form, lasting a long time. 



Silver Moon — Single flowers, extra large, freely 

 produced on long, strong stems; excellent for 

 cutting. Color brilhant silvery-white with a mass

DINGEE HARDY CLIMBING ROSES 



Hardy Climbing Roses have become an absolute neces- 

 sity for beautifying the home, for training over porches, 

 verandas, treUises, and pergolas and for training of low 

 supports to make the most beautiful flowering hedges. 

 The}' can also be grown as individual specimen plants, 

 when properly trained, for they can be kept trimmed to 

 any shape. 



In recent years great advance has been made in the 

 development of this class of roses. Today there are chmbers 

 that have blooms rivalling the Hybrid Teas, and even 

 hardier than roses of the latter class. However, some of the 

 varieties are not as hardy as others, and require some pro- 

 tection in the far north. 



Due to the fact that these roses are hardy, and of ex- 

 tremeh' vigorous growth, sending forth canes more than 

 ten feet long in a single year, they will survive many 

 winters if the proper kind of plants are used. Plant own- 

 root stock — the Dingee kind — for once planted they last. 

 The growth is strong and heavy, and no wild shoots can 

 come up.
