New Crimson-Pink Bush Rose 
“West Grove” 
THE LATEST AND MOST SENSATIONAL DINGEE CREATION 
(See color photograph, back cover page) 
Now introduced for the first time and for sale only 
by The Dingee & Conard Company. Is one of the 
best and most magnificent Roses of its color now 
known. Blooms in marvelous profusion all the time. 
The breeding of this sensational garden Rose is suffi- 
cient to stamp it as a wonderful Rose. It is a cross 
between that great crimson Rose, Liberty, and that 
queen of all white Roses, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria— | 
truly a royal parentage. The color can be termed a crim- 
son-pink—a new and unique shade. The flowers are full 
and double, somewhat cup shaped and have wonderful 
substance and possess exquisite fragrance. The two 
great features of the Rose that will make for it a place 
as the leading garden Rose is that it is absolutely hardy 
and has withstood with us a temperature of 20 below 
zero without protection and, secondly, there is no 
Rose in cultivation, not even Clotilde Soupert, that 
produces as many flowers and blooms more continu-

ously than this superb new variety. It forms a strong, 
sturdy bush with splendid foliage and from early spring 
until actual winter it bears in the most lavish profu- 
sion its magnificent crimson-pink flowers, and there is 
not a day during the growing season when it is out-of 
bloom. This magnificent variety, which we have 
chosen to bear the name of ‘‘West Grove,” which for 
more than sixty years we have made synonymous as 
the leading Rose-growing town in America, has all 
the features that an ideal garden Rose should have and 
we urge our friends to plant it generously and it will 
bring you nothing but continued satisfaction year after 
year. For once planted, it will last a lifetime. 
Price, first size, one-year-old pot plants 35c. each; 
larger size, 50c. each, postpaid; two-year-old plants, 
75c. each, by express. All on their own roots.

Our stock on its own roots, not on wild root—Once planted practically everlasting—No new Rose of recent 
years so Sensational and Meritorious as this Latest Dingee Offering.

is perhaps the best known, 
most popular and impres- 
sive Rose in cultivation. Big, gloriously rich in 
fragrance, the flowers are simply superb. Every Rose 
expert has longed to produce this Queen of Beauty 
in climbing form through the delicate science of 
hybridizing and cross breeding. This is no ordinary 
Climbing Rose, but is a vigorous, rampant, climbing 
type of the real American Beauty, with its gorgeous 
flowers and its surpassing fragrance. Immense blooms 
measuring 3 to 4 inches in diameter; and each one 
is invariably produced on a separate stem. The color 
is glowing crimson red, the real American Beauty color. 
The foliage is magnificent and is an important feature 
in climbing Roses, for without healthy, leathery 
foliage any climbing Rose is a failure, because it is 
unsightly. Climbing American Beauty has tough, beau-
