The Most Wonderful Bush Rose in the World 



CHARLES DINGEE 



Absolutely the Best and Most Beautiful Introduction of the Century 



(See the colored photographic illustration on the front cover.) 



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

 duced a Rose better than any other variety in cultiva- 

 tion. 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 with 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-breed- 

 ing, between Hermosa, that grand old hardy pink va- 

 riety, and "WTiite Manian Cochet, 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 a Hybrid Perpetual, 

 growing to perfection in almost any soil or situation, it 

 has the most magnificent foliage, absolutely free from 

 disease, that w« have ever seen on any Rose. 



If there ever was a rose that has made its impression 

 on the minds and hearts of those who have secured it, 

 it is the Charles Dingee. It has completely revolution- 



ized the possibilities of rose growing, in the home, yard 

 or garden, for no matter where you live, it will thrive 

 and if you ha.ve no yard or garden wherein to plant it, 

 it will grow in a living room with more freedom than a 

 Geranium. What rose can compare to it? 



It is a tremendous grower, the best in our entire list 

 of over 8 00 varieties. It grows as sturdy as an o"k to 

 amazing perfection in almost any soil or situation. If 

 you have a place where other roses have failed in that 

 spot, Charles Dingee will flourish and produce its gor- 

 geous flowers with v»'onderful profusion. We have had 

 it growing and blooming in all its glory in a tempera- 

 ture very little above freezing. Growing to a height of 

 2 to 3 feet, Charles Dingee blooms continuously, produc- 

 ing immense, deep, double, grandly formed flowers on 

 long, stiff erect stems; both in bud and bloom their 

 beauty is nothing short of superb, practically impossi- 

 ble to describe because of the delicate blending of color.^ 

 — rose tints in the center of flower, gradually shading 

 off into pale blush creamy white, a color effect both 

 entirely new and distinct, exquisitely beautiful.
