Dingee Famous Hardy Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
There is little question that Hybrid Perpetual Roses, or “June Roses,” as they are sometimes called, are 
the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are of vigorous, upright growth, have large, bold flowers, frequently 
measuring 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and are deliciously fragrant. These Roses will succeed in any locality and 
are so hardy that they will live through the severest winters with but a light protection of leaves or coarse 
manure. Some of the kinds do not bloom until the second year, but, when fully established, they all bloom 
freely at the usual time, early in the season. The Hybrid Perpetuals will stand hardship and neglect, but give 
much better results with good cultivation and rich soil. Always plant in open ground, as these Roses are not 
Suitable for house culture. Our collection of Hybrid Perpetuals is, by far the best in the country. The plants 
we send out are strong and hardy and on own roots. Many of our Hybrid Perpetuals are included among 
our justly popular ‘‘Iron-Clad Roses,” a color plate of which is shown on page 69.
