Dingee Hardy Climbing 



Hybrid Tea Roses 



These climbing roses are noted for the exquisite 

 beauty of their flowers, equalling the Hybrid Teas. 

 They are strong growing, vigorous, and bloom freely all 

 summer. They are not as hardy as the climbers 

 described in a former part of this book, yet they survive 

 the coldest winters in the district of Philadelphia with- 

 out the slightest attention and with protection can with- 

 stand very severe weather. In the warmer sections of 

 the country, they fairly run riot in their glory of bloom, 

 and present the most wonderful display of beauty imagina 



Nowhere can you find a more complete list of these roses than in 

 the following pages. For years we have maintained an exceptionally 

 large stock. And all these plants are on their own roots, which of 

 course, means permanency. 



Climbing Gruss an Teplitz 



(Climbing Virginia R. Coxe) 



This is the hardiest of the everblooming Climbing Hybrid Teas. It 

 blooms throughout the season, and is exceptionally satisfactory. Vigor- 

 ous grower; heavy foliage, somewhat subject to mildew. Sometimes it 

 happens that this fine climbing Rose does not become established as 

 quickly as other sorts, but given attention it will produce a profusion 

 of blooms of that fine dark crimson of its parent plant, the bush variety 

 of the same name. 



Climbing Sunburst. Orange copper and golden yellow flowers of large 

 size and perfectly formed handsome buds. Strong grower. Profuse 

 bloomer. Price, first size plants, 50 cts. each, postpaid; two- 

 year-old plants, $1.25 each, by express collect. All own roots. 

 Climbing Papa Gontier. This new climber has all the superior merits 

 of its parent and bearing in the greatest profusion all the summer the 

 same handsome, deep crimson flowers. Perfectly hardy. 

 Climbing Mad. Caroline Testout. Same as the bush variety, except 

 a vigorous climber. Hardy. Color a satiny rose, deepening toward 

 the center. 



Climbing Lady Ashtown. Strong, rapid grower, pro- 

 ducing large, delicate pink flowers in abundance. 



Climbing Lady Hillingdon. A true Lady Hillingdon 

 Rose of the climbing habit. The blooms are identical 

 with the bush variety of this same name, but the plant 

 is a strong, vigorous grower, producing its buds and 

 blooms throughout the growing season with great pro- 

 fusion. As hardy as the bush rose of this name. Price, 

 50 cts. each for first size plants; two-year-old 

 plants, $1.50 each. 



Climbing Gruss an Teplitz 



Climbing Columbia 



Climbing Helen Gould. The growth is sturdy, the 

 foliage grand, the flowers warm, rosy crimson, some- 

 times beautifully striped, flamed and shaded in bright 

 carmine, over pale rose. 



Climbing Gen. McArthur. Crimson red blooms, very 

 handsome and fragrant. Strong climber with excellent 

 blooming qualities. 



Climbing Hoosier Beauty. Blooms identical with the 

 bush variety of this name but a good strong climber 

 producing the gorgeous rich velvety crimson blooms 

 on single stems. 



Prices of all Roses on this page, except where noted, first 

 size plants, 30 cts. each; 4 for $1.00, postpaid; two-year-old 

 plants, 85 cts. each, by express; $8.50 per dozen, 6 at doz. rate, 

 or 95 cts. each by parcel post prepaid with soil on roots. 



Foliage deep glossy green immune from disease and 

 insects. Hardy in any location. Blooms with the 

 greatest freedom the entire season. Buds and blooms of 

 immense size often measuring six inches in diameter, of 

 perfect formation, borne singly on long shoots. Color 

 clear imperial pink. 



Climbing Mrs. Geo. Shawyer. A vigorous climbing 

 Hybrid Tea, and a full bloomer. Buds and blooms 

 just as handsome as the bush variety. 

 New Climbing Crimson Baby Rambler. A hardy 

 climbing Rose combining the everblooming qualities of 

 the famous Crimson Baby Rambler Roses, with a 

 climbing habit. Best of all Roses for porch adornment. 

 Climbing Wooton. This Rose introduced by us pro- 

 duces superbly formed flowers in wonderful profusion, 

 of bright magenta-red passing to violet crimson. 



The Dingee & Conard Go. July 10, 1927. 



West Grove, Penna. 

 Gentlemen: — 



My last order of 100 Roses arrived in splendid condition and 

 are now doing fine. 



I have taken great pride in the fact that I have been dealing 

 with your firm for about 45 years, and have always had splendid 

 success with your "own root" roses. The superiority of your 

 plants and the fair and prompt dealing of your company certainly 

 justified the high praise I always take pleasure in giving you. 



Yours very truly, J. T. A. STROUP, Raltimore, Md.
