Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses 



Hardy Climbing Roses have the 

 popular call. They have become an 

 absolute necessity for beautifying the 

 home, for training over porches, ve- 

 randas, trellises and pergolas, and 

 they make most beautiful flowering 

 hedges when trained on low supports. 

 Also when grown as individual speci- 

 men plants, as they soon form a beau- 

 tiful 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 con- 

 cern offers such a complete list of 

 Climbing Roses as we. All the Climb- 

 ing Roses in our unequaled list are 

 on their own roots — a most vital point 

 in a Climbing Rose. Unlike budded 

 stock, once planted they last a life- 

 time. Some are absolutely hardy in 

 the coldest parts of the country, while 

 others growing luxuriantly in the 

 Middle and Southern section, require 

 some slight protection in the North. 

 The same high quality of stock dis- 

 tinguishing Dingee Roses, the same 

 care in propagation and growing, 

 make this class a most important one in our business. 



* Climbing American Beauty 



American Beauty is perhaps the best known, most 

 popular and impressive Rose in cultivation. Big, 

 gloriously rich in fragrance, the flowers are simply 

 superb. Every Rose expert has longed to produce 

 this Queen of Beauty in climbing form through the 

 delicate science of hybridizing and cross breeding. 

 This is no ordinary Climbing Rose, but is a vigorous, 

 rampant climbing type of the real American Beauty, 

 with its gorgeous flowers and surpassing fragrance. 

 Immense blooms, measuring 3 to 4 inches in diame- 

 ter, and each one is invariably produced on a sepa- 

 rate stem. The color is a glowing crimson-red, the 

 real American Beauty color. The foliage is magnifi- 

 cent and is an important feature in climbing Roses, 

 for without healthy, leathery foliage any climbing 

 Rose is a failure, because it is unsightly. Climbing 

 American Beauty has tough, beautiful, glossy green 

 foliage, which in itself is ornamental and retains its 

 brightness during the entire season. Absolutely 

 hardy in all localities and withstands the rigid win- 

 ters of a temperature 10 to 25 degrees below zero 

 without protection. Equally satisfactory in the 

 warmer Southern climates. For single specimens, 

 for pergolas, for climbing over verandas, or for any 

 place that an ordinary vine will grow, Climbing 

 American Beauty will thrive. 



Prices: Strong, first size plants, 25c each, postpaid; strong, 

 vigorous two-year-old plants, 65c each; still larger specimen 

 plants, 90c each, by express.

* 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.
