Dingee Famous Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses 



- There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual Roses, or "June Roses," as they are some- 

 times called, are the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are of vigorous, upright growth, 

 have large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and are deliciously 

 fragrant. These Roses will succeed in any locality and are so hardy that they will live through 

 the severest winters with but a light protection of leaves or coarse manure. Some of the kinds 

 do not bloom until the second year, but, when fully established, they all bloom freely at the 

 usual time, early in the season. The Hybrid Perpetuals will stand hardship and neglect, but 

 give much better results with good cultivation and rich soil. Always plant in open ground, 

 as these Roses are not suitable for house culture. Our collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is 

 by far the best in the country. The plants we send out are strong and hearty. The smallest 

 size plants are grown in pots not less than 3 and 3 ^ inches in diameter and are strong, sturdy 

 stock. Many of our Hybrid Perpetuals are included among our justly popular "Iron-Clad 

 Roses," a color plate of which is shown on page 72 and list on page 73.
