 Climbing Roses 



Hardy Climbing Roses have the popular call. 

 They have become an absolute necessity for beauti- 

 fying the home, for training over porches, verandas, 

 trellises and pergolas, and they make most beautiful 

 flowering hedges when trained on low supports. Also when 

 grown as individual specimen plants, as they soon form a beauti- 

 ful bush more ornamental than many hardy shrubs. They can 

 be kept trimmed into any shape or height desired, and thus make 

 a large, handsome bush Rose. No other concern offers such a com- 

 plete list of Climbing Roses as we. All the Climbing Roses in our 

 unequaled list are on their own roots — a most vital point in a Climb- 

 ing Rose. Unlike budded stock, once planted they last a lifetime. Some 

 are absolutely hardy in the coldest parts of the country, while others 

 growing luxuriantly in the Middle and Southern Sections require some 

 slight protection in the North. The same high quality of stock distinguish- 

 ing Dingee Roses, the same care in propagation and growing makes this class 

 a most important one in our business. 



A TTiousand Beauties 



German Tausendschoen. The most sensational Climbing 

 Rose yet introduced, not even barring Crimson Rambler. 

 A single cluster of flowers is a bouquet in itself; hence the 

 very fitting name, "Thousand Beauties." Blooming pro- 

 fusely from the beginning of June until the last of July, the 

 flowers appear in large clusters (10 to 15 in a cluster) of 

 splendid size and quite double. The colors run from delicate 

 balsam to tender rose through the intermediate shades of 

 bright rose and carmine, with white, yellow and various 

 other indescribable tints showing. A strong grower, has 

 few thorns; impervious to mildew ;hardy in the open ground 

 everywhere. 



Alberic Barbier 



A Great New Yellow Climbing Rose. Very best hardy 

 Climbing Rose in cultivation. Grows in almost any soil 

 or situation. Free from insect attacks, beautiful, heavy, 

 waxy foliage. Continues in bloom for quite a protracted 

 period; free from mildew; in short, the type of Rose that 

 may be planted and forgotten. The beautiful yellow 

 flowers are unusually full and double, and produced some- 

 times singly and sometimes in clusters with utmost free- 

 dom. All plants grown on own roots.
