Dingee Hardy Climbing 
Roses | 
Hardy Climbing Roses have become an absolute 
necessity for beautifying the home, for training 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 indi- 
vidual specimen plants, when properly trained, for 
they can be kept trimmed 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 of the varieties are not as hardy as. 
others, and require some protection in the far north. 
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. 
Birdie Blye—One of the Everblooming hardy climb- 
ers. Always in bloom. Perfectly hardy. Good strong 
grower. Foliage bright glossy green and free from 
insects or disease. Blooms full and double over 
three inches in diameter. Color a bright carmine, 
changing to bright rose. 
Thousand Beauties—Large flowers with ruffled 
petals, borne in enormous trusses, from 10 to 15 
in a cluster. Colors vary through shades of yellow, 
cream and rose pink. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet—Flowers when open run four 
inches and over in diameter. The center is built 
high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. 
The color is a remarkably delicate shade of flesh- 
pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy flesh 
in the center. Flowers full, double, of delicate per- 
fume; buds pointed.

ana and Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and termed a
