DINGEE HARDY 



CLIMBING ROSES 



Hardy Climbing Roses have become an abso- 

 lute necessity for beautifying the home, for train- 

 ing over porches, verandas, trellises, and pergolas 

 and for training of low supports to make the most 

 beautiful flowering hedges. They can also be 

 grown as individual specimen plants, when 

 properly trained, for they can be kept trinmaed to 

 any shape. 



In recent years great advance has been made 

 in the development of this class of roses. Today 

 there are climbers that have blooms rivalling the 



Hybrid Teas, and even hardier than roses of the latter class. However, some 

 the varieties are not as hardy as others, and require some protection in the far 

 north. These will be indicated in the text. 



Due to the fact that these roses are hardy, and of extremely vigorous growth, sending 

 forth canes more than ten feet long in a single year, they will survive many winters if the 

 proper kind of plants are used. ^ Plant own-root stock — the Dingee kind — for once 

 planted they last. The growth is strong and heavy, and no wild shoots can come up. 

 Dingee Hardy Climbers are unexcelled. The size of the plants we send out is very large, our 

 stock is almost unlimited, and our list includes all the varieties that have shown their worth.
