Dingee Famous Hardy 

 Hybnd Perpetual Roses 



There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual 

 Roses, or "June Roses," as they are sometimes 

 called, are the most valuable of all hardy plants. 

 They are of vigorous, upright grow^th, have 

 large, bold flowers, frequently measuring 5 or 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 estab- 

 lished, they all bloom freely at the usual time, 

 early in the season. The Hybrid Perpetuals will 

 withstand 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. Plants strong, hardy, on own roots.
