DINGEE EVERBLOOMING TEA ROSES 



| 



This class of Roses is famous for its love- 

 ly blooms of delicate beauty — soft, refined 

 colors; subdued, yet powerful fragrance. 

 Constantly in flower, it 

 has a place in all gardens. 

 The Tea Rose, introduced 

 into Europe from China 

 in the early part of the 

 nineteenth century, is the 

 parent of all our ever- 

 blooming Roses, and as 

 the foundation of all the 

 great Roses of today, has 

 a warm spot in the 

 hearts of all rose-lov- 

 ers. And never has the 

 marvelous beauty of 

 the Teas been sur- 

 passed. 



It must be point- 

 ed out that the Tea 

 Roses are not as 

 hardy, nor as vigor- 

 ous growers as the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals, or the Hybrid 

 Teas. In the northern 

 climates of extreme cold 

 even the hardier kinds, 

 such as Charles Dingee, 

 must be given some pro- 

 tection in winter. As most 

 of the varieties are of but 

 moderate growth, they require rather 

 close pruning. It is better to have a 

 richer soil than that used for Hybrid 

 Teas. Excellent for winter blooming 

 indoors.

The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the 

 World 



(See prices and the Colored Photographic 

 illustration on Inside Front Cover). 



BURBANK — Large crimson flowers; very 

 fragrant and produced in marvelous pro- 

 fusion the entire season. Strong, upright 

 grower. 



BON SILENE— The color is deep rose 

 changing to pale light rose. 



GOLDEN GATE— Color rich creamy 

 white, shaded with golden yellow and 

 clear rose. 



PAPA GONTIER— Color rich cherry-red, 

 passing to clear, glowing crimson. 



The Charles Dingee I bought from you, first 

 size, this summer has had one perfect bloom. 

 It is the nicest of the whole bed of twenty Rose 

 bushes, purchased elsewhere. Thanking you, 

 Yours very truly, Mrs. Fred Friebe. Ferndale, 



Michigan.

After a thorough trial both indoors under 

 glass and in the open ground, we are pleas- 

 ed to offer this lovely yellow Rose to our 

 customers as one of the very best of its 

 class and color. The color, which is a deep 

 lemon-yellow, deepening as the flower ex- 

 pands, does not fade in the open ground, 

 as is usual with such. Buds and blooms 

 of perfect formation and of great substance, 

 and produced in the greatest abundance 

 throughout the entire season. Strong grower 

 and hardy everywhere. This Rose was 

 awarded Cold Medal by the National Rose 

 Society. 



IVORY— A sport of Golden Gate. Color 

 pure white without a particle of any other 

 color. Good grower.
