Dingee Guide To Rose Culture 



"CHARLES DINGEE" 



The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the World 



(See the Colored Photographic Illustration on Outside Cover.) 



To honor the name of Charles Dingee, we have 

 produced a Rose better than any other variety in 

 cultivation. We say without fear of contradiction 

 that the Charles Dingee Rose is far-and-away the 

 best garden Rose for general planting in the world. 



It is always blooming, whether it is growing for 

 us or growing for you. The flowers are beautiful 

 beyond description, immense in size, deep, double 

 and grandly formed. It is hardy everywhere. 



The Charles Dingee Rose is the result of cross- 

 breeding between Hermosa, that grand old hardy 

 pink variety, and White Maman Cochet, perhaps the 

 greatest of all white garden Roses — a superb par- 

 entage, which insures its offspring every point of 

 excellence. With the hardy, vigorous constitution 

 of a Hybrid Perpetual, growing to perfection in 

 almost any soil or situation, it has the most mag- 



nificent foliage, absolutely free from disease, that 

 we have ever seen on any Rose. 



It is a tremendous grower, the best in our entire 

 list of over 800 varieties. If you have a place where 

 other Roses have failed in that spot, Charles Dingee 

 will flourish and produce its gorgeous flowers with 

 wonderful profusion. We have had it growing and 

 blooming in all its glory in a temperature very little 

 above freezing. Growing to a height of 2 to 3 feet, 

 Charles Dingee blooms continuously, producing im- 

 mense, deep, double, grandly formed flowers on 

 long, stiff, erect stems; both in bud and bloom their 

 beauty is nothing short of superb, practically im- 

 possible to describe because of the delicate blending 

 of colors — rose tints in the center of the flower, 

 gradually shading off into pale blush creamy white, 

 a color effect both entirely new and distinct, ex- 

 quisitely beautiful.

' Pink Killarney 



The Famous Irish Rose 

 This queen of the Irish Roses excels any other of 

 its class and color yet introduced, and by many is 

 recognized as the most beautiful, hardy, everbloom- 

 ing Hybrid Tea Rose now under cultivation. Each 

 season since it was introduced Killarney has in- 

 creased in popularity, and the demand has always 

 exceeded the supply. The bush is strong and up- 

 right, with beautiful, deep bronzy green foliage, and 

 the Rose is entirely free-blooming, bearing immense, 

 long pointed buds and massive flowers on big, heavy 

 shoots. The color is deep, brilliant and sparkling 

 shell-pink, of the most exquisite shade. The flowers 

 are of delightful fragrance, immense size, and have 

 thick petals of great substance. Killarney is unusu- 

 ally hardy and without protection has withstood 

 severe winters as far north as Boston. Strong 

 plants, 30c each; 3 for 75c, postpaid. Extra strong
