Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses 



Hardy Climbing Roses have become an absolute 

 necessity for beautifying the home, for training over 

 porches, verandas, trellises, and pergolas and. for train- 

 ing of low supports to make the most beautiful flower- 

 ing hedges. They can also 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.

 Scarlet Climber 



Everlasting 

 and Beautiful 



Paul's Scarlet Climber 



Startling, vivid scarlet colors have won for this Hose 

 well deserved recognition as the most attractive 

 climber ever introduced. It is a vigorous grower, pro-

 it makes the most brilliant display imaginable. Heavy
