THE DINQEB <& OONARD COMPANY'S 



HARDY EVEE-BLOOIING CLIMBING ROSES. 



A Branch of Mad. Alfred Carriere. 



In reply to many inquiries for Hardy Climbing' 

 Roses, which are also Constant Bloomers, we 



would say the varieties named below are the best there 

 is, and we think will give good satisfaction, — most of 

 them bloom the first season, but they bloom better and 

 more profusely after being out over Winter and getting 

 well established. They are generally hardy in the 

 Tvliddle States, but in very cold situations they should 

 have a light covering of straw or evergreen branches 

 during the first Winter at least. They are strong grow- 

 ers and bloom finely at short intervals all through the 

 season, from early Summer till late Fall, and the 

 flowers are very beautiful. These varieties are fully 

 described in their proper places, but are put in 

 this list for the convenience of persons who wish 

 the best HARDY EVER-BLOOMING CLIMBING 

 ROSES.
