NEW JERSEY. Another first for the "Charles Dingee Rose"! . \ bud of the above 

 named Rose which I entered in the Woodbury Flower Shoir last Saturday was awarded the 



blue ribbon as the best pink bud. L. II. I). 



Dingee Ever-Blooming 

 Tea Roses 



This class of Roses is famous for its lovely 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 Roses are not as 

 hardy, nor as vigorous growers as the Hybrid Perpetu- 

 als, 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. Excellent 

 for winter blooming indoors. 



"Charles Dingee" 



The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the World 



(Sec the Colored Photographic Illustration on Inside Front Cover) 



To honor the name of Charles Dingee, we have pro- 

 duced a Rose better than any other variety in 

 eultivation. We say, without fear of contradiction, 

 that the "Charles Dingee Rose" is far-and-away the 

 best garden Rose for general planting in the world. 



It is always blooming, whether it is growing for 

 us or growing for you. The flowers are beautiful 

 beyond description, immense in size, deep, double 

 and grandly formed. It is hardy everywhere. 



The "Charles Dingee Rose" is the result of cross- 

 breeding between Hermosa, that grand old hardy 

 pink variety, and White Maman Coehet, perhaps 

 the greatest of all white garden Roses — a superb 

 parentage, which insures its offspring every point of 

 excellence. With the hardy, vigorous constitution of 

 i Hybrid Perpetual, growing to perfection in almost 

 any soil or situation, it has the most magnificent 

 Foliage, absolutely free from disease, that we have 

 •vrr seen on any Rose. 



W e have had it growing and blooming in all its 

 zlory in a temperature very little above freezing. 

 Growing to a height of 2 to 3 feet, Charles Dingee 

 blooms continuously, producing immense, deep, 

 double, grandly formed flowers on long, stiff, erect 

 stems; both in bud and bloom their beauty is nothing 

 short of superb, practically impossible to describe 

 because of the delicate blending of colors — rose tints 

 m the centers of the flower, gradually shading off into 

 pale blush creamy white, a color effect both entirely 

 tew and distinct, exquisitely beautiful.
