DINGEE FAMOUS HYBRID TEA ROSES 



The Most Desirable 

 of All 



It has not been 

 many years since the , 

 introduction of the 

 Hybrid Tea class of 

 roses by Ouillot. Tt is 

 a part of the early his- 

 tory of the Rose in 

 this country that this 

 house was the first to 

 call attention to the 

 valuable char- 

 ateristics of 

 the class and 

 was greatly 

 instrumental 

 in making it ^ 

 the most pop- ' t 



ular. Today the 

 great majority 

 of roses grown are 

 Hybrid Teas, and new 

 varieties are being 

 produced by the hun- 

 dreds. 



The Hybrid Teas, 

 as a class, are the 

 most satisfactory of 

 roses. They produce 

 the most beautiful 

 blooms, of all forms 

 and colors — and con- 

 tinuously from early 

 spring until heavy 

 frost. Like the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals, they arc 

 vigorous growers; 



hardy, but not exceptionally so. Therefore 

 they are well adapted for growing in our 

 temperate climates, but in zones of extreme 

 winters need some protection. Their foliage 

 is heavy and disease resisting, but, as with 

 all roses must be protected from the ravages 

 of insects. 



Our collection of Hybrid Teas is exten- 

 sive and complete. But the varieties offered 

 on the following pages have been selected 

 with an understanding of the needs of the 

 amateur grower, and are varieties that have 

 shown themselves to be well adapted for 

 growing. 



In my last order I made a complaint about 



the Roses you sent me instead of Own Root, 



all of which died. I have 127 of your own 



root and haven't lost one. I wish you could 

 i tell me the cause of this as most books I have 

 i .ead say budded Roses are stronger and there 

 ' is a larger variety to be had in budded Roses.

A Gorgeous Newcomer "Rose Hill" 



*Rose Hill 



Sport of Columbia but superior in every 

 way. Darker than Columbia, larger blooms, 

 better foliage and grower. The buds and 

 blooms are perfect in color and formation, 

 being long pointed and solid, opening into 

 a perfect bloom of immense size. Splendid 

 grower, free from disease, producing an 

 abundance of flowers the entire season. Col- 

 or a pure rose pink of charming brilliance 

 which does not lighten. 



MRS. CHARLES BELL— Lovely shell- 

 pink buds and blooms of fine globular 

 form with shadings of soft salmon, sweet- 

 ly perfumed. Strong bushy plant bearing 

 good foliage seldom attacked by disease. 

 A sport of Radiance exactly like it ex- 

 cept in color, making it soon to become 

 ;is popular as the standard varieties Ra- 

 diance and Red Radiance. 

 EUREKA — The color is an unusually bril- 

 liant, clear rose pink, retaining its color 

 in the open flower. Lovely buds of fine 

 form; flowers very large, full and double, 

 borne on long straight stems.
