THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



New Bourbon, €ea, China and Noisette Roses. 



Bertha Clavel. {Striped Malmaison). This superb new 



variety is a sport from that famous old 



Rose, Souv. de la Malmaison, from which it inherits vigor 

 of growth, freedom of bloom and fine large flowers. The 

 color is creamy white with rose centre ; reverse of petals 

 striped carmine and light rose— a beautiful combination. 

 Fine for outdoor planting. 15 cts. each. 



Caroline riarniesse. A hardy Rose that is always in 



bloom. As a bedding Rose, this 



variety has no equal. It is literally a continuous bloomer. 

 When other Roses show only scattering blossoms, or none 

 at all, the rows of Caroline Marniesse are a perfect mass of 

 flowers. The blossoms are blush white, small but full, and 

 borne in very pretty clusters. The bush is low growing, 

 about 18 to 24 inches, and especially adapted for a border. 

 It is entirely hardy, having withstood unprotected a tem- 

 perature of twenty-five degrees below zero without the 

 least injury. 20 cts. each. 



Crown Princess Victoria. {W*He Malmaison). Iden- 



tical with Malmaison , except 



in color of flower. This fact alone will make it popular with 

 Rose lovers everywhere. It grows vigorously, has large 

 handsome foliage, and deep, double, full flowers. Color 

 pure waxy white, with centre of flower shaded lemon yellow. 

 It is wonderfully free flowering, and in open ground is ex- 

 cellent. Fully as good as Malmaison, and a lovely Rose 

 in every respect. 20 cts. each ; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. 

 each. 



Duke of York. 



This is a fine new China Rose, with 

 flowers much larger than any other 



variety of its class. Vigorous grower and good habit. The 

 flowers in color vary between rosy pink and white, usually 



tipped with deep rosy pink. A splendid constant-flowering 

 decorative Rose. Much more like a fine Tea than a China 

 in character of bloom. 20 cts. each. 



Harie Walkoff . A splendid new variety of rare color, 



- velvety crimson, reflexed with ruby red ; 



large, almost full, nice long buds, fine foliage, and always 

 blooming. An unusually good Rose. 30 cts. each. 



firs. Paul. A Deaut iful new Bourbon Rose, strongly re- 



- - sembling Malmaison in growth and form of 



flower. Won the Gold Medal prize over all competitors 

 in its class. Flowers large and double. Color a lovely 

 pearl-white with satin sheen. Good strong grower and 

 free bloomer. A valuable acquisition indeed. 20 cts. 

 each. 



Queen Mab. Introduced by William Paul & Sons. They 



- say of it: "This variety belongs to the 



decorative and buttonhole class of Roses, of which Madame 

 Capucine and Madame Laurette Messimy are good ex- 

 amples. It is, however, perfectly distinct from all others, 

 and is much superior in its habit of growth and the sub- 

 stance of the petals of the flowers, the latter quality 

 enabling it to last longer when cut than any other Rose 

 we are acquainted with. The color may be described as 

 soft rosy apricot, the centre of flower shaded with orange, 

 and the outside tinted with rose and violet. It blooms 

 with extraordinary freedom, and is most excellent for 

 garden decoration and for cutting. It has received a 

 certificate of merit from the Royal Botanic Society, and an 

 Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. 

 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00 ; two-year-old plants, 

 40 cts. each. 



New polyantha Roses. 



Htoile de Mai. ^ continuous and persistent bloomer, 



. - being literally covered with bloom the 



whole season. The buds are a beautiful nankeen yellow, 

 changing to creamy white, with lemon centre in the open 

 flower. A charming variety. 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 

 9 for $1.00. 



riosella or Yellow Clotilde Soupert. After another 



. yearstnal.we 



pronounce this superb, new, free-flowering Tea Polyantha 

 to be one of the prettiest, best and most satisfactory Roses 

 in this book. This is a strong indorsement, but this variety 

 in our estimation merits it. It is remarkably free blooming, 

 producing in continuous profusion throughout the growing 

 season clusters of 3 to 6 flowers, as well as on single stems, 

 which are exquisitely beautiful, being as large as the best 

 Tea Roses, very double and of graceful form ; the buds are 

 perfect in their shape, and as they open do not look unlike 

 Camelia flowers. The petals are tinted white on yellow 

 ground, which becomes golden in the centre of flower. In 

 the open ground " Mosella " is grand. It is a strong dwarf 

 bushy grower, hardy with protection. From the time it is 

 fairly started, the plant is never without flowers. By all 

 means try it. We know it will please you. See color-plate 



illustrations, page 47. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for 

 $1.00; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each. 



Perle des Rouges. This splendid new variety is fittingly 



— named the " Pearl of the Reds." 



It is the richest and deepest in color of all dwarf Polyantha 

 Roses. The color is a deep velvety crimson, very odd and 

 beautiful. The flowers are of medium size, double, and 

 are produced in clusters and with great abundance through- 

 out the entire growing season until late in Autumn. Fine 

 in the open ground or for pot culture. 40 cts. each. 



Pink Soupert. A su P erD new Tea Polyantha Rose, in- 



- troduced by us, and color-plated on page 



47 of this book. It is an offspring of Clotilde Soupert, 

 and identical with it excepting in color, which is deep rich 

 pink. The freedom of bloom is marvelous ; throughout the 

 entire growing season, it produces cluster after cluster of 

 finely formed buds and flowers. It is hardy with slight 

 protection. For open-ground planting this variety is con- 

 ceded to be best of all pink Roses. This is one of the most 

 popular Roses in cultivation. It suits everybody. 15 cts. 

 each; 5 for 50 cts.; 10 for $1.00; two-year-old plants, 30 

 cts. each. 



New Climbing polyantha Roses. 



Claire Jacquier. This good old standard variety has 

 1 been brought into prominence in Eu- 



rope because of its resembling Crimson Rambler ingrowth 

 and habit of flower. The small nankeen yellow flowers 

 are produced profusely in large clusters like Crimson Ram- 

 bler, with which they contrast well. It is exceedingly pretty 

 and hardy ; it climbs rapidly and blooms early and con- 

 tinuously. 20 cts. each. 



Climbing White Pet. Splendid new Climbing Rose. 



An unusually strong vigorous 



grower, with clean handsome foliage, producing in wonder- 

 ful profusion flowers that are charming in form. They are 

 of medium size, very double and full and borne in clusters. 

 The color is pure white. This new variety is really a re- 

 markable climbing Rose, being as vigorous as Empress of 

 China, and as free as any Polyantha in the list. It is a 

 nice companion to Crimson Rambler ; hardy with moderate 

 protection. See description and illustration, page 30. 15 

 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for $1.00; two-year-old plants, 

 30 cts. each. 



Crimson Rambler. 



Known everywhere as a most re- 

 markable and unlooked-for novelty 

 among hardy Climbing Roses. Grows 8 to 10 feet in a 

 single season. The flowers are borne in immense trusses, 

 pyramidal in form. Color rich glowing crimson — an effect 

 so strikingly beautiful as to baffle description. When in 

 bloom it is a vivid crimson mass of beauty. Single plants 

 have been known to bear on one shoot alone over 300 per- 

 fect flowers. It is hardy everywhere. See page 27 for 

 further description and illustration. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 

 cts.; 7 for $1.00 ; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each. 



(Euphrosyne). Identical with 

 Crimson Rambler in growth, hard- 

 iness and richness of bloom. The color of flower is pure 

 shiny rose; the half-opened bud brilliant light carmine. 

 This beautiful variety is distinct and fully the equal of 

 Crimson Rambler in every way. All four Ramblers 

 grouped together will make a beautiful contrast. See page 

 29 for description and illustration. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 

 cts.; $1.50 per dozen ; two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each.
