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, 
verandas, trellises and pergolas, and they make 
most beautiful flowering hedges when trained 
on low supports. Also when grown as individual 
specimen plants, as they soon form a beautiful 
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 concern offers such a 
complete list of Climbing Roses as we. All the 
Climbing 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 lifetime. Some are absolutely hardy in 
the coldest parts of the country, while others 
growing luxuriantly in the Middle and Southern 
Sections require some slight protection in the 
North. The same high quality of stock distin- 
guishing Dingee Roses, the same care in propa- 
gation and growing makes 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 its surpassing 
fragrance. Immense blooms measuring 3 to 4 inches 
in diameter; and each one is invariably produced on a 
separate stem. The color is 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 winters 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 ver- 
andas, or any place that an ordinary vine will grow, 
Climbing American Beauty will thrive. It does 
not require any petting or coaxing. 
Remember, every plant is pot grown, and unlike 
stock sold by nursery agents, is on its own roots. Once 
planted, it practically lasts forever. 
Prune each spring as much as desired, keeping it 
shaped as required. Train the growing shoots in any 
shape and it will make a great sight.
