Dingee Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses 
Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the 
great Roses of today. Without them the lovely Hybrid 
Tea class would be impossible. They are among the 
oldest and most highly cherished of all Roses. They 
have made the Rose-gardens of America what they 
are. Their place and value is everlasting. Rugged, 
healthy and hardy in growth, free blooming (they 
bloom all the time), their flowers are chaste and beauti- 
ful. You cannot well do without them. They thrive 
gloriously in all sections. 
Their ease of propagation has, unfortunately, 
caused them to be produced by some growers in 
enormous quantities to meet a certain demand for 
“cheap Roses,’ and these so-called cheap Roses have 
brought untold disappointment to all who have planted 
them, and have discredited the business of every first- 
class Rose dealer. Plant good Roses, grown by a firm 
with a reputation to sustain. Pay a fair price for high- 
class goods, with a guarantee back of them—the 
Dingee kind—and you will soon become a Rose 
enthusiast. 
Ours is the greatest collection of own-root Roses 
in the world. This collection of hardy, everblooming 
Tea Roses is the very life of our immense list. To the 
beginner—the novice in Rose culture—the great 
number of varieties may be confusing, but to eliminate 
a single one, however, would do a distinct injustice 
to the introducer and to our collection, for each variety 
has its own particular charm and merit. If you find it 
difficult to make a choice, leave selection to us. 
Prices of all Hardy, Everblooming Tea Roses, except where 
noted, first size plants, 25c each; 5 for $1.00, postpaid; two- 
year-old plants, 75c each, by express; $7.50 per dozen of one 
or more varieties, 85c each, by parcel post prepaid, with soil 
on roots. Varieties marked * furnished in still larger or star 
size at $1.25 each. 
Burbank 
A revival of Champion of the World, bearing a great 
profusion of large crimson flowers; very fragrant, 
and produced in marvelous profusion the entire season. 
Strong, upright grower. Extremely hardy. 
BON SILENE. A Grand Old Rose—The color is 
deep rose, changing to pale light rose. This variety 
cannot be surpassed for bouquets and decorative 
purposes. In the open ground it grows to perfection, 
producing large crops of beautiful flowers from early 
spring until late autumn. One of the favorites of 
the old-time gardens. 
*BLUMENSCHMIDT—A splendid bedding Rose of 
the Cochet type, glowing all summer with its wealth 
of citron-yellow flowers, each petal of which is edged 
with dainty rose. The individual flowers are large 
and well formed, resembling in many ways some of 
the handsomest Tea Roses.

Etoile de Lyon 
It is of vigorous, sturdy growth, and seems able 
to resist heat and cold equally well. It blooms freely, 
producing beautifully formed flowers of a rich golden- 
yellow. 
BOUGERE—This is a fine variety for open ground 
culture. Large, full and double flowers supported 
on long, stiff stems and produced in great abundance 
all through the growing season; color bronze rose 
or violet-crimson shaded with lilac. 
*BRIDESMAID—This variety is valuable for cutting 
and does finely in the open ground; a sport from 
the old and popular pink Tea Catherine Mermet, 
but of a fine, clear, dark pink, much deeper and 
more constant in color than Mermet. 
*IVORY—A sport of Golden Gate. Color pure white 
without a particle of any other color. Good grower.
