"THE DREER DOZEN" 



Hardy Everblooming Hybrid =Tea Roses 



This collection of twelve Roses embraces only popular, well tried varieties, the majority of which are familiar to every lover of 

 the Rose, and is recommended for general planting to the amateur who wishes to limit the number of varieties and who is desirous 

 of a supply of extra choice flowers to cut throughout the summer and fall months. 



For those who wish a greater collection we can recommend every variety described in the General Collection of Hardy Ever- 

 blooming Hybrid-Tea Roses offered on page 184 of this book, as well as the various collections of New Hybrid-Tea Roses offered 

 on pages 178 to 183. All of these, with the exception of the 1910 introductions, have undergone a thorough test in our own trial 

 grounds, while the 1910 novelties are the introductions of the most noted specialists, and come to us with such recommendations 

 from the various exhibitions at which they were shown during the summer of 1910 that we have no hesitancy in recommending them. 



CAROLINE TESTOUT. 



One of the most popular and valuable bedding varieties; 

 large, full, globular flowers of bright satiny-rose, with brighter 

 centre; very free and fragrant. 



DEAN HOLE. 



Silvery carmine with salmon shadings; 

 entirely distinct and by far the finest of its 

 color; the growth is vigorous, habit 

 branching and remarkably 

 floriferous; the flowers are 

 large, of great substance, and 

 perfect in form both as a bud 

 as well as when fully expand- 

 ed. Of no variety do we 

 hear so many good reports. 

 Awarded a Gold Medal by 

 the National Rose Society of 

 England. (See illustration on 

 this page. ) 



EARL OF 



WARWICK. 



A magnificent Rose and 

 entirely distinct from all other 

 varieties. The flowers are 

 large and full, of Icautiful 

 form, and come perfect 

 throughout the season under 

 all weather conditions. In color it is a soft 

 salmon-pink, shaded in the centre with ver- 

 milion. 



Hybrid-Tea Rose 

 Dean Hole. 



KAISERIN AUGUSTA 

 VICTORIA. 



This splendid Rose should be in every collection. In color 

 it is a soft pearly-white, tinted with just enough lemon in the 

 centre to relieve the white; remarkably fragrant, beautifully 

 formed flowers on long, graceful stems; a strong, free, healthy 

 grower, with bold, handsome foliage. 



KILLARNEY. 



This is, perhaps, the best known of Dickson's famous 

 Irish Hybrid-Tea Roses, and is one of the most popular of our 

 garden Roses, and also one of the leading varieties for winter 

 cut flowers. Is perfectly hardy; in growth it is strong and 

 robust, and as free-flowering as any Rose we know. In color 

 it is a sparkling, brilliant pink; the blooms are large, the buds 

 long and pointed, the petals very large and of great substance, 

 and just as handsome in the full-blown flower as in the bud form. 

 Illustrated on plate opposite. 



KONIGIN CAROLA. 



This variety frequently produces flowers seven inches across 

 and perfect in form, both in bud and when fully expanded. In 

 color a beautiful satiny-rose, with the reverse of the petals silvery- 

 rose; very floriferous and desirable in 

 every way. Illustrated on plate opposite. 



LADY ASHTOWN. 



One of the freest-flowering varieties in 

 the collection, and pro- 

 duces perfect blooms under 

 all weather conditions. 

 The flowers are large, 

 double, with high-pointed 

 centre, and are produced 

 on long stems; splendid 

 for cutting; in color a sofl 

 rose, shading to yellow al 

 the base of the petals. Il- 

 lustrated on plate opposite. 



M1IE. JULES 

 GROLEZ. 



One of the best; a beau- 

 ful satiny china-rose color, 

 very bright and attractive; 

 flowers of large size, very 

 double, of good form and 

 remarkably free flowering; 



a distinct and pretty Rose, which should 



be planted extensively. 



ME RAYARY. 



Should be in every collection on ac- 

 count of its distinct color, which is of a 

 rich, deep nankeen-yellow, becoming 

 lighter as the flower expands. The flowers are of splendid 

 form, full, double and very fragrant. Illustrated on 

 plate opposite. 



PRINCE DE BULGARIE. 



Large, full, double flowers of splendid form, of a silvery flesh 

 color, deepening to the centre, and delicately shaded with 

 salmon-rose, a color combination that pleases everyone. 



RICHMOND. 



A most valuable and well-known American variety, of a rich, 

 brilliant crimson-scarlet; the flowers are not very full, but in bud 

 form are beautiful, and remarkably free-flowering. Illustrated 

 on plate opposite. 



VISCOUNTESS FOLKESTONE. 



One of the first Hybrid-Teas introduced, and still the best ot 

 its color, which is a creamy pink, shading deeper at the centre; 

 large, full and very free.
