Dingee Famous Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses 



There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual Roses, or "June Roses," as they are sometimes called, are the most 

 valuable of all hardy plants. They are of vigorous, upright growth, have large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 

 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and are deliciously fragrant. These Roses will succeed in any locality and are so hardy 

 that they will live through the severest winters with but a light protection of leaves or coarse manure. Some of 

 the kinds do not bloom until the second year, but, when fully established, they all bloom freely at the usual time, 

 early in the season. The Hybrid Perpetuals will stand hardship and neglect, but give much better results with good 

 cultivation and rich soil. Always plant in open ground, as these Roses are not suitable for house culture. Our 

 collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is by far the best in the country. The plants we send out are strong and hearty 

 and on own roots. Fall is the most suitable time for planting these.

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. All the Climbing Roses in our unequalled list are on their own roots — a most vital 

 point in a Climbing Rose. 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. Fall planting is 

 particularly recommended for this class of Rose, as they make much better growth the following season than 

 if planted in the Spring. They are pot grown and in the right condition. Order early and give them a 

 chance to establish.
