Dingee Hardy Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses 



The Hybrid Perpetuals, or "June Roses," 

 are the most famous of all roses. Most of 

 the varieties were propagated years ago — the 

 best known is General Jacqueminot, which 

 was brought out in 1852 — but time has not 

 lessened their popularity. 



Although they usually bloom only once 

 a year, they produce an enormous number 

 of flowers — more than the Hybrid Teas. 

 They are of extremely vigorous, upright 

 growth, putting forth long, heavy canes. 

 The flowers are immense in size, often 

 measuring six inches in diameter, and are 

 delightfully fragrant. They are perfectly 

 hardy, and live through the most severe win- 

 ters with slight protection. 

 MARSHALL P. WILDER— Flowers large, 

 semi-globular, full and of good substance: 

 bright scarlet-crimson, richly shaded with 

 maroon. 

 GENERAL JACQUEMINOT — Bright, 

 shining crimson, rich and velvety; ex- 

 ceedingly brilliant and handsome; makes 

 magnificent buds and flowers. 



ANNE DE DIESBACH— Most lovely bril- 

 liant carmine, long, pointed buds, and 

 large, finely formed, compact flowers, very 

 full and double and delightfully sweet. 



MAD. CHARLES WOOD— Flowers extra 

 large, double, full and quite fragrant; 

 bright fiery scarlet, passing to fine, rosy 

 crimson, shaded with maroon. 



MAD. MASSON— It is entirely hardy, 

 blooms nearly all the time, as free as any 

 Hybrid Tea, bearing numbers of large, 

 full, double flowers of unusual beauty and 

 wonderful fragrance; clear, bright rose, 

 distinct and charming. 



PAUL NEYRON— The flowers are im- 

 mense; probably the largest and finest 

 Rose; bright, shining pink, clear and beau- 

 tiful, very double and full. 



J. B. CLARK — An intense, deep scarlet 

 rose, shaded blackish-crimson color like 

 the sheen of a plum. 



VICK'S CAPRICE — Flowers large and 

 slightly cup-shaped, but full and deep; 

 petals thick and lasting, having the 

 ground color clear, satiny pink, distinctly 

 striped and dashed with white and bright 

 carmine. 



GREEN ROSE— Viridiflora— A most in- 

 teresting member of the Rose family, 

 grown for its oddity. Petals are small, 

 pointed, set thickly, and of the same col- 

 or as the foliage, dark pea green.

 plants, 25c each; 5 for $1.00, postpaid; two-year- 

 old plants, 75c each; $7.50 per dozen of one or

Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses 



Hardy Climbing Roses have become an 

 absolute necesstiy for beautifying the home, 

 for training over porches, verandas, trellis- 

 es, and pergolas and for training of low 

 supports to make the most beautiful flower- 

 ing hedges. Can be grown as individual 

 specimen plants, when properly trained, for 

 they can be kept trimmed to any shape. 



In recent years great advance has been 

 made in the development of this class of 

 roses. Today there are climbers that have 

 blooms rivalling the Hybrid Teas, and even 

 hardier than roses of the latter class. How- 

 ever, some of the varieties are not as hardy 

 as others, and require some protection in 

 the far north. 



Due to the fact that these roses are hardy, 

 and of extremely vigorous growth, sending 

 forth canes more than ten feet long in a 

 single year, they will survive many winters 

 if the proper kind of plants are used. Plant 

 own-root stock — the Dingee kind — for once 

 planted they last. The growth is strong 

 and heavy, and no wild shoots can come up. 



Climbing American Beauty 



The colors of carmine and crimson are 

 those of the bush rose American Beauty. 

 Exceptionally fine buds, opening into very 

 large flowers of splendid form, borne on 

 long stems, and available for cutting. Vig- 

 orous, healthy, leathery foliage, retainec 

 usually throughout the season. The bloom- 

 ing season is unusually long for a climbing 

 Rose. Absolutely hardy, it is one of the 

 best roses for pillars, pergolas, for climbing 

 over verandas, or wherever a climber is 

 desired. Its ease of growth makes it the 

 amateur's best bet. 



AUNT HARRIET— In full bloom, it is 

 amazingly fine with its masses of dazzling 

 scarlet-crimson Roses loading every 

 branch. The bright effect is intensified 

 by the pure white centers and brilliant 

 golden anthers which shine out when the 

 flowers are fully open. Awarded Certifi- 

 cate of Merit, American Rose Society. 

 MARY WALLACE— Hardy Climber or 

 pillar rose making a fine, strong self-sup- 

 porting plant 6 to 8 feet high, with large 

 glossy foliage, blooming with great free- 

 dom in spring and bearing a considerable 

 number of fine buds in summer and fall. 

 Flowers very large, usually exceeding 4 

 inches across; well formed semi-double, 

 of a bright clear rose-pink with salmon 

 base to the petals. 

 MARY LOVETT — A cross between a 

 Seedling. Wichuriana and Kaiserin Au- 

 gusta Victoria and termed a "White Dr. 

 Van Fleet." This rose is strongly rec- 

 ommended. Loses foliage early.
