 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. 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. Fall planting 

 is particularly recommended for this class of Rose, as they make much better growth the 

 following season than if planted in the spring. They are pot-grown and in the right condition. 

 Order early and give them a chance to establish. 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber. Vivid scarlet shaded shghtly crimson, but almost a flaming scarlet, 



a most pleasing and striking color. Makes a brilhant display for a long time in the garden.

best Climbing Rose at the National Rose Society's exhibit. Illustrated on front cover.
