THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



New Roses Introduced in 1892. 



New Ever=blooming Tea Roses. 



Charles de Franciosi.— This is a pretty New Rose ; 

 fine, large, full form, very double and sweet ; a good healthy 

 grower; free bloomer; color rich creamy yellow or white, 

 delicately tinged with salmon and fine peachy red ; reverse 

 of petals delicate salmon rose. 25 cts. each. 



Christine de Noue. — This beautiful New Red Tea is 

 particularly valuable, because red has been a very scarce 

 color among Tea Roses, and this one seems exceptionally 

 fine. It is a splendid grower, making a large-sized graceful 

 bush, with bright deep green foliage ; a constant and very 

 free bloomer; the flowers are well borne up on strong stems, 

 and are unusually large and handsome ; the buds are long 

 and finely pointed, and the color clear rich maroon or deep 

 purplish red, centre sometimes streaked with silvery white ; 

 the petals are finely imbricated, and the flowers are deli- 

 ciously sweet. 25 cts. each. 



Comtesse de Witzthum. — Extra-large, fine flowers, 

 borne in great profusion ; color pale canary yellow, very 

 beautiful. It is a good healthy grower, and we think will be 

 a very satisfactory Rose for general planting. 40 cts. each. 



Comtesse Eva Starhemberg. — Flowers quite large 

 and full, with broad firm petals, very sweet; color creamy 

 yellow with buff and ochre yellow centre ; petals prettily 

 bordered and edged with rose ; very handsome and desirable. 

 25 cts. each. 



Elisa Fugier. — The flowers are of grand size and superb 

 form, well borne up on strong stout stems. It is agoodstrong 

 healthy grower that will probably do well in all ordinary situa- 

 tions; the color is rich creamy white, beautifully tinged with 

 pure golden yellow ; the petals, which are large and broad, 

 are frequently bordered and delicately shaded with softpearly 

 pink; a beautiful Rose in every way. 25 cts. each. 



General Mertchansky. — This is a lovely Rose; the 

 color is exquisite rosy flesh, so sweet and tender, and clear 

 and fresh, that it appeals to your affection at once, and you set 

 it down immediately as a Rose you must have. It is of good 

 large size, fine full form; petals somewhat imbricated, very 

 sweet; a good grower and constant bloomer. 25 cts. each. 



Jaune Nabonnand. — It gives us real pleasure to offer 

 this grand Rose ; it is certainly one of the best of the 

 year, probably one of the best in many years; grand and re- 

 markable in color, which is solid rich chamois-yellow, centre 

 sometimes delicately shaded with coppery rose ; very fra- 

 grant ; a strong, vigorous and healthy grower ; that we believe 

 will give excellent satisfaction and produce just the kind of 

 Roses that none of us have ever had enough of. Roses of 

 this character are scarce and always worth a fair price ; in 

 fact, they are wanted at any reasonable cost, as there are very 

 few so good ; and the color is handsome and unique. 25 cts. 

 each. 



Madame Elie Lambert. — The flowers are extra large, 

 fine globular form, very full and well built up. The French 

 description says it is the absolute perfection of form. The 

 color is rich creamy white, faintly tinted with pale golden 

 yellow, and exquisitely bordered and shaded with soft rosy 

 flesh ; exceedingly beautiful and very sweet; petals large and 

 of good substance; constant and profuse bloomer, strong, 

 vigorous and healthy grower — in short, a magnificent Rose in 

 every way. 25 cts. each. 



Maurice Rouvier. — One of the distinguishing charac- 

 teristics of this superb new Rose is its enormous size — the 

 flowers are immense ; fine globular form, very full and exceed- 

 ingly sweet; the color is bright pinkish rose, elegantly tinted 

 with shades of buff, and prettily veined with deep shining 

 crimson, while many of the petals have a wide border of sil- 

 very white, which gives the flowers a lighter effect than the 

 colors would appear to indicate. It is a good strong grower 

 and most prolific bloomer, well worthy of high commenda- 

 tion. 25 cts. each. 



Miss Wenn. — This charming variety is noticed at once 

 for its exquisite color, which seems entirely distinct from 

 almost all other Roses of our acquaintance. We call it a 

 clear coral pink, a most novel and distinct shade of color 

 very difficult to describe. The French call it china pink. It 

 is certainly a very beautiful color, and the Rose will doubtless 

 be greatly admired, as it is large, very double and full, and 

 exquisitely tea scented. 25 cts. each. 



Princesse Sarsina. — Fine flesh-colored Rose of good 

 form and substance; base of petals finely tinged with apricot 



' SPECIAL OFFER.— Any 5 varieties of Roses offered 



yellow, centre shaded rich peachy red ; very pretty and de- 

 sirable for general planting. 25 cts. each. 



Souvenir de Clairvaux. — The flowers are extra large, 

 having a deep full form, well built up ; the buds, too, are 

 large, long and pointed, altogether giving an idea of luxuri- 

 ant beauty that but few Roses possess. The color is bright 

 pinkish rose, very rich and handsome, and shading darker or 

 lighter according to season and temperature; when fully 

 open, the base of centre is seen to be finely shaded apricot 

 yellow. The flowers are delightfully fragrant. It is a nice, 

 clean, healthy grower and continuous bloomer. 25 cts. each. 



Souvenir de Lady Ashburton. — The flowers of 'mis 

 superb Rose are exceedingly large and full, and of round, 

 handsome form; the color is somewhat variable, but always 

 very beautiful, and can perhaps be best described as a fine 

 shade of rich copper)' red, delicately suffused with pale 

 orange yellow; reverse of petals fine rosy fawn color. It is 

 highly scented with the true Tea Rose odor, heightened or 

 intensified, as the French description says, with the delicate 

 perfume of peaches and apricots. 25 cts. each. 



Souvenir de Madame Sablayrolles. — This is cer- 

 tainly an exquisite Rose; in form and delicate coloring it is 

 almost unsurpassed. The French grower who originated it 

 describes the color as rosy apricot, delicately tinged with 

 pale yellow, or it might be better to say that the prevailing 

 color was rich creamy white, most elegantly tinged and bor- 

 dered with soft silvery rose, giving an exquisite Mother of 

 Pearl effect. The plant is a good vigorous grower, that will 

 bear plenty of lovely buds and flowers, and they are deli- 

 ciously sweet. 25 cts. each. 



New Hybrid Tea Roses. 



Henri Brichard. — The flowers are borne in great profu- 

 sion; they are of fine, regular form, with narrow imbricated 

 petals ; very full and delightfully tea scented ; color pale rose, 

 or rosy white shaded deep blush, centre deepening to bright 

 carmine; very handsome and beautiful. 25 cts. each. 



Madame Caroline Testout. — The petals" are large, and 

 of the elegant La France form ; exquisitely edged and bordered 

 with clear silver rose. Both flowers and buds are extra large 

 and of very elegant form ; the color is brilliant satiny rose, 

 deepening at centre to clear red. It is of excellent substance, 

 keeps its color well, and its splendid large globular flowers 

 impress every one with a sense of its superiority and great 

 beauty. 35 cts. each. 



Triomphe de Pernet Pere. — Originated and sent out 

 by Jean Pernet, one of the most celebrated Rose growers of 

 France, who has already given us some very beautiful Roses, 

 but considers this the triumph of his life. The flowers are 

 extra large, having broad thick petals and long tapering buds, 

 with delicious tea fragrance ; color fine clear magenta red, 

 sometimes passing to bright crimson, very striking and beau- 

 tiful, and of such good substance that the flowers retain their 

 beauty for a long time; very brilliant and handsome. 25 cts. 

 each. 



New Climbing Hybrid Tea Rose. 



Gustave Regis. — The Climbing Hybrid Teas are com- 

 paratively a new class of Roses not yet extensively dissemi- 

 nated, but worthy of trial in favorable situations. This one 

 is pale canary yellow — sometimes almost pure white — with 

 just a tinge of gold; the flowers are cup-shaped and semi- 

 double, almost every one showing the centre very distinctly 

 when fully open. It is richly scented and very floriferous, 

 and as the plant is evidently a strong healthy grower, it will 

 doubtless make a charming climber where the Winters are not 

 too severe. 25 cts. each. 



New Hybrid Perpetual Roses. 



Joseph Degueld. — Color rich ruddy crimson, beauti- 

 fully lightened with fine vermilion red ; very handsome and 

 fragrant ; the flowers are extra large and of great depth and 

 sweetness, having somewhat the form and fullness of the 

 Centifolia or Hundred-leaved Rose ; the bush is a strong, vig- 

 orous grower and good bloomer. 25 cts. each. 



Jules Lemaitre. — Bush very vigorous ; extra-large, well 

 built up flowers ; remarkably full deep form ; color bright 

 clear cherry red, highly scented ; a very promising new vari- 

 ety. 25 cts. each, 

 above for $1 ; the complete collection of 20 varieties, $3.50.
