Dingee Ever-Blooming Tea Roses 



. . ^ 



This class of Roses is famous for its love- 

 ly blooms of delicate beauty — soft, refined 

 colors; subdued, yet powerful fragrance. 

 Constantly in flower, it has a place in all 

 gardens. The Tea Rose, introduced into 

 Europe from China in the early part of the 

 nineteenth century, is the parent of all our 

 everblooming Roses, and as the foundation 

 of all the great Roses of today, has a warm 

 spot in the hearts of all rose-lovers. And 

 never has the marvelous beauty of the Teas 

 been surpassed. 



It must be pointed out that the Tea Ros- 

 es are not as hardy, nor as vigorous grow- 

 ers as the Hybrid Perpetuals, or the Hybrid 

 Teas. In the northern climates of extreme 

 cold even the hardier kinds, such as Charles 

 Dingee, must be given some protection in 

 winter. As most of the varieties are of 

 but moderate growth, they require rather 

 close pruning. It is better to have a richer 

 soil than that used for Hybrid Teas. Excel- 

 lent for winter blooming indoors.

The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the 

 World 

 (See prices and the Colored Photograph- 

 ic Illustration on Inside Front Cover). 



Alexander Hill Gray 



Deep lemon-yellow, deepening as the 

 flower expands, does not fade in the open 

 ground. Buds and blooms of perfect forma- 

 tion and of great substance, and produced 

 in the greatest abundance throughout the 

 entire season. Splendid foliage. Seldom dis- 

 eased. Strong grower, hardy everywhere. 

 IVORY — Color pure white without a par- 

 ticle of any other color. 

 BURBANK — Large crimson flowers; very 

 fragrant, and produced in marvelous pro- 

 fusion the entire season. Strong, upright 

 grower. 

 BON SILENE— The color is deep rose 



changing to pale light rose. 

 THE BRIDE— There is no other white 



Rose more satisfactory than the Bride. 

 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. 

 CATHERINE METRMET— A very free 

 bloomer, producing clear, shining pink 

 flowers, the center being shaded fawn 

 and amber.
