Dingee Hardy Everblooming Tea Roses 



Tea Roses form the foundation of nearly all the 

 great Roses of today. Without them the lovely 

 Hybrid Tea class would be impossible. They are 

 among the oldest and most highly cherished of all 

 Roses. They have made the Rose-gardens of Amer- 

 ica what they are. Their place and value is ever- 

 lasting. Rugged, healthy and hardy in growth, 

 free blooming (they bloom all the time), their 

 flowers are chaste and beiautiful. You cannot well 

 do without them. They thrive gloriously in all 

 sections. 



Their ease of propagation has, unfortunately, 

 caused them to be produced by some growers in 

 enormous quantities to meet a certain demand for 

 "cheap Roses," and these so-called cheap Roses 

 have brought untold disappointment to all who have 

 planted them, and have discredited the business of 

 every first-class Rose dealer. Plant good Roses, 

 grown by a firm with a reputation to sustain. Pay 



a fair price for high-class goods, with a guarantee 



back of them the Dingee kind — and you will soon 



become a Rose enthusiast. 



Ours is the greatest collection of own-root Roses 

 in the world. This collection of hardy, everbloom- 

 ing Tea Roses is the very life of our immense list. 



To the beginner the novice in Rose culture the 



great number of varieties may be confusing, but to 

 eliminate a single one, however, would do a distinct 

 injustice to the introducer and to our collection, 

 for each variety has its own particular charm and 

 merit. If you find it difficult to make a choice, 

 leave selection to us.

Burbank 



A revival of Champion of the World, bearing a 

 great profusion of large crimson flowers; very fra- 

 grant, and produced in marvelous profusion the en- 

 tire season. Strong, upright grower. Extremely 

 hardy. 



BON SILENE. A Grand Old Rose— The color is 

 deep rose, changing to pale light rose. This va- 

 riety cannot be surpassed for bouquets and deco- 

 rative purposes. In the open ground it grows 

 to perfection, producing large crops of beautiful 

 flowers from early spring until late autumn. One 

 of the favorites of the old-time gardens. 

 *BLUMENSCHMIDT— A splendid bedding Rose of 

 the Cochet type, glowing all summer with its 

 wealth of citron-yellow flow^ers, each petal of 

 which is edged with dainty rose. The individual 

 flowers are large and well formed, resembling in 

 many ways some of the handsomest Tea Roses. 



Etoile De Lyon 



It is of vigorous, sturdy growth, and seems able 

 to resist heat and cold equally well. It blooms 

 freely, producing beautifully formed flowers of a 

 rich golden-yellow. 



BOUGERE — This is a fine variety for open ground 

 culture. Large, full and double flowers supported 

 on long, stiff stems and produced in great abun- 

 dance all through the growing season; color 

 bronze rose or violet-crimson shaded with lilac. 

 *BRIDESMAID — This variety is valuable for cutting 

 and does finely in the open ground; a sport from 

 the old and popular pink Tea Catherine Mermet, 

 but of a fine, clear, dark pink, much deeper and 

 more constant in color than Mermet. 

 *IVORY — A sport of Golden Gate. Color pure 

 white without a particle of any other color. 

 Good grower.
