Dingee Hardy Hybrid 

 Perpetual Roses 



The Hybrid Perpetuals, or "June Roses," are the 

 most famous of all roses. Most of the varieties were 

 propagated years ago — the best known is General 

 Jacqueminot, which was brought out in 1852 — but time 

 has not lessened their popularity 



Although they usually bloom only once a year, 

 they produce an enormous number of flowers — more 

 than the Hybrid Teas. They are of extremely vigorous, 

 upright growth, putting forth long, heavy canes. The 

 flowers are immense in size, often measuring six inches 

 in diameter, and are delightfully fragrant. They are 

 perfectly hardy, and live through the most severe win- 

 ters with slight protection. 



We have been fortunate in being able to maintain a 

 very large stock of Hybrid Perpetuals, consisting of all 

 the better kinds ; in fact, our stock is unsurpassed. These 

 roses are all on their own roots — the only kind to plant, 

 for Hybrid Perpetuals survive many generations when 

 on their own roots, but last only a few years when grown 

 on wild root stock or grafted. 



^larshall P. Wilder. Flowers large, semi-globular, full 

 and of good substance; bright scarlet-crimson, richly 

 shaded with maroon. 

 General Jacqueminot. Bright, shining crimson, rich 

 and velvety; exceedingly brilliant and handsome; 

 makes magnificent buds and flowers. 

 Gloire Lyonnaise. The open flower is enormous, full, 

 deep and double. Rich creamy-white, passing, when 

 open, to a pale shade of salmon-yellow deepest at the 

 center. 

 Ulrich Bvuner. Immense, large, bold flowers, full and 

 globular; rich glowing crimson; elegantly flamed with 

 scarlet. Highly fragrant. 

 Prince Camille de Rohan. The color is a deep, rich 

 velvety crimson, passing to intense maroon, shaded 

 black. 

 Anne de Diesbach {QIotj of Paris). Most lovely brilli- 

 ant carmine, long, pointed buds, and large, finely 

 formed, compact flowers; very full and double and 

 dehghtfully sweet. 

 Clio. On the order of Baroness Rothschild. Strong, 

 vigorous grower, handsome foliage. Flowers flesh 

 color, shaded in the center with rosy-pink; large, of 

 fine globular form, freely produced. 

 Mad. Charles Wood. Begins to bloom almost as soon 

 as planted, and continues all through the season; 

 flowers extra large, double, full and quite fragrant; 

 bright fiery scarlet, passing to fine, rosy crimson, 

 shaded with maroon. 

 Mad. Masson. It is entirely hardy, blooms nearly all 

 the time, as free as any Hybrid Tea, bearing numbers 

 of large, full, double flowers of unusual beauty and 

 wonderful fragrance; clear, bright rose, distinct and 

 charming. 

 Heinrich ^lunch. One of the newer varieties that has 

 created a sensation wherever grown. The color is a soft 

 pink, very large and full; vigorous grower and undoubt- 

 edly one of the very finest of the Hybrid Perpetual 

 varieties. 

 Vick's Caprice. Flowers large and slightly cup-shaped, 

 but full and deep; petals thick and lasting, having the 

 ground color clear, satiny pink, distinctly striped and 

 dashed with white and bright carmine. 



White American Beauty 



Paul Neyron 



The flowers are immense; probably the largest and 

 finest Rose; bright, shining pink, clear and beautiful, 

 very double and full. 



J. B. Clark. An intense deep scarlet-rose, shaded 

 blackish-crimson, color like the sheen of a plum. 



Francois Levet. An unusually vigorous grower, and 

 free blooming. Large, finely made flowers almost 

 the size of Paul Neyron; cherry-pink, delicately 

 shaded carmine and blush. 



White American Beauty {Frau Karl Druschki). This 

 brilliant white type Rose has become renowned as the 

 very highest type of its class and the best snow-white 

 Rose ever introduced. It is an extraordinarily strong 

 grower, branching freely, and has the vigor and hardi- 

 ness of an oak. Large, heavy foliage and magnificent 

 flowers that are nothing less than glorious — immense in 

 size and produced with great freedom on long, stiff 

 stems. The color is marvelously white, without a tinge 

 of yellow or any other shade. 



Pink American Beauty {George Arends). A rose 

 bound to become as popular as Druschki. Grown 

 inside or out in the open ground, one can find no fault 

 in it. Strong, robust grower, making a sturdy bush; 

 free bloomer and absolutely hardy everywhere. The 

 color delicate pink, deliciously fragrant. 



Crimson American Beauty. Color, rich crimson, 

 charmingly shaded and veined. As the flowers ex- 

 pand, their beauty seems to be enhanced rather than 

 diminished. The fragrance is not excelled by any 

 Rose known. 



Coquette des Blanches. Pure snowy- white, sometimes 

 faintly tinged with pale rose; blooms in large clusters; 

 medium size, full and slightly fragrant.
