Dingee Hardy Climbing Roses 
r 
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. No other con- 
cern offers such a complete list of Climbing 
Roses as we, including, as it does, all the 
new kinds, as well as the old tried and true 
favorites which may be found spreading their 
beauty all over our fair land. 
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 mid- 
dle and southern sections, require some slight 
protection in the North. The same high qual- 
ity of stock distinguishing Dingee Roses, the 
same care in propagation and growing makes 
this class a most important one in our 
business. 
A Thousand Beauties 
(GERMAN TAUSENDSCHON) 
The most sensational Climbing Rose yet 
introduced, not even’ barring Crimson 
Rambler. A single cluster of flowers is a 
bouquet in itself, hence the very fitting name, 
“Thousand Beauties.’”’ Blooming profusely 
from the beginning of June until the last of 
July, the flowers appear in large clusters 
(10 to 15 in a cluster), are of splendid size 
and quite double. The colors run from deli- 
cate balsam to tender rose through the 
intermediate shades of bright rose and car- 
mine, with white, yellow and various other 
indescribable tints showing. There is no other 
Se Rose in cultivation like it. It is a strong

foliage, impervious against mildew and abso-
