Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses 



Hardy Climbing Roses have the popular call. They have become an absolute necessity for beautifying the 

 home, for training over porches, verandas, trellises and pergolas, and they make most beautiful flowering 

 hedges when trained on low supports. No other concern offers such a complete list of Climbing Roses as we, 

 including, as it does, all the new kinds, as well as the old tried and true favorites which may be found spread- 

 ing their beauty all over our fair land. 



All the Climbing Roses in our unequalled list are on their own roots — a most vital point in a Climbing Rose. 

 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 distin- 

 guishing Dingee Roses, the same care in propagation and growing makes this class a most important one in our 

 business. 



PRICE of all Hardy Climbing Roses offered in this section, except where 

 noted, 15 cts. each, 50 cts. for any 4, $1 for any 9; larger size, 20 cts. each, 3 for 

 50 cts. postpaid, two-year-old plants, 40 cts. each. Varieties marked with (*) 

 in three- and four-year-old plants, 75 cts. each, by express. 



^ Climbing White Maman Cochet 



(See photographic illustration opposite) 

 For many years the old White Maman Cochet has been considered 

 one of the very best of all White Tea Roses, and this new climber 

 has all the superfine qualities of that old standard Rose, with added 

 value in its climbing habit. The foliage is strong and of a delightful- 

 ly fresh green, is not subject to disease or insect attacks, and even 

 when not in bloom the plant is of great charm, adding great beauty 

 to the house. 



The exquisite white flowers every one of which is a perfect speci- 

 men of the White Maman Cochet Rose, are borne in the greatest 

 profusion, fairly covering the plant all summer, for it is one of the 

 most constant bloomers of all the white climbing Roses. It is ab- 

 solutely hardy, except in the extreme North, where it requires some 

 slight protection. It is a strong, vigorous grower, throwing up strong 

 canes 15 or 20 feet long in a single season. 



For many years we tried to import plants of this remarkable Rose, 

 and scoured the world at enormous expense in our efforts, for we 

 felt that no expense should be spared to supply our friends with 

 the very best and latest in Rose introductions. At last, from far- 

 off New Zealand we succeeded in obtaining a strong, thrifty plant, 

 from which our stock has been propagated. Ours is the Guaranteed, 

 Genuine Stock, which can be procured from no other house in this 

 country. Do not be mislead into buying this Rose without a guar- 

 antee of its genuineness. First size, strong plants from pots 3 and 

 314 inches in diameter, 20 cts. each, 6 for $1; larger size, 30 cts. 

 each; two-year-old plants, very large, 50 cts. each. Immense, field- 

 grown plants, three-years-old, 75 cts. each, stock Umited, and early 

 ordering will be necessary to secure them.
