‘DREER’S SELECT LIST OF 
HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
Under this heading we offer on this and the six pages following the World’s best Hybrid-Tea varieties, all of them sorts 
which we have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing in our own trial grounds, and which we fully endorse and recommend to 
the large and small planter, which, together with the newer sorts offered on pages 128 and 129, form what is undoubtedly the 
finest collection of Hybrid=-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose loving American public. For best results Hybrid-Tea 
Roses should be severely pruned; the stronger shoots should be cut back to from- 
8 to 12 inches in height, while all weak, thin wood should be removed entirely. 
Admiral Ward (Pernet-Ducher, 1915). A splendid crimson-red, shaded fiery 
red; it has large globular flowers with curved petals; its growth is 
vigorous; of desirable spreading habit, with healthy bronzy-green 
foliage ; $1.25 each. 
Amalie de Greiff (P. Lambert, 1914). Destined to become 
a very popular bedding variety, large, well-formed double 
flowers, long shapely buds carried on long stiff stems, in color 
a delicate satiny rose-tinted white. $1.25 each. 
Antoine Rivoire (Pernet-Ducher, 1896). An ideal bedding 
Rose of large size, exquisite form and coloring, which is soft 
peach flesh with deeper shadings; the base of the petals yellow. 
Arthur R. Goodwin (Pernet-Ducher, 1909). A beautifully 
rich-colored coppery-orange; ‘‘gold of ophir,’’ a visitor to 
our trial grounds very correctly called it who saw it in one 
of its stages of development; as the flower matures it opens 
to a soft salmon pink; a good, full flower, very free and dis- 
tinct. $1.25 each. 
Augustus Hartmann (Cant & Son, 1914). Brilliant, ger- 
anium-red, flushed with orange. A fine Rose, large, well- 
formed flowers on stout erect stems; strong grower. 
Betty (Dickson & Sons, 1905). Early in the season this is adisappoint- 
ment in the first flowers which it opens, but after it becomes established 
it produces blooms of marvellous beauty, particularly so inthe autumn.

or, suffused with a golden sheen.
