THE “DREER DOZEN” 
HARDY EVERBLOOMING HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
For many years it has been customary for us to offer under this heading only the very best and most popular, well-tried varie- 
ties of Hybrid-Tea Roses, with the majority of which every lover of the Rose is familiar. 
We recommend this collection for general planting to the amateur who wishes a limited number of varieties, and who is desirous 
of a supply of extra choice flowers to cut throughout the summer and fall months. Those who desire a more extensive collection 
_can select with perfect confidence any variety in our collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses offered on pages 119 to124. There is not 
one individual sort which we cannot endorse as possessing superior merit, all having been thoroughly tested in our own trial grounds. 
Caroline Testout (Pernct-Ducher, 1890) 
One of the most popular and valuable bedding varieties, large, 
full, globular flowers of bright satiny-rose, with brighter centre; 
very free and fragrant. 
Duchess of Wellington 
(Dickson & Sons, 1909) 
_ Intense saffron-yellow stained with deep crimson, changing 
to a deep coppery saffron-yellow as the flowers develop. The 
flowers are fairly full, with large i 
petals of great substance, delight- 
fully fragrant and very free-flow- 
ering. 
General 
MacArthur 
(E. G. Hill, 1905) 
A well-known favorite, and one 
of the best all-around bedding 
Roses in our collection, it is one 
of the earliest and most perpetual 
flowering sorts; its flowers are of 
good form, of a warm, rich crimson 
scarlet, and delightfully scented.

e (Leenders, 1910) 
4 One of the best bedding varie- 
' ties, The flowers, which are pro- 
duced with the greatest freedom 
on long stiff stems, are of large 
"size and of perfect form, of a deep 
_imperial-pink, the outside of the 
petals silvery-rose white. 
4 Killarney Queen (Budiong, 1912) 
A decided improvement on the popular Killarney, with larger, 
fragrant, well-formed buds and flowers, which are absolutely 
perfect in all stages of development; they are of a sparkling 
cerise-pink color, shading lighter at the base of the petals, a 
strong, vigorous grower and free bloomer

Lady Alice Stanley (mcGredy, 1909) 
A gem that everyone admires; it is absolutely perfect in every 
way; form, color, size, freedom of bloom and fragrance, are all 
fully developed; in color it is a beautiful shade of coral-rose, 
the inside of the petals shading to flesh-pink with deeper flushes. 
Lady Ursula (Dickson & Sons, 1908) 
_ A truly magnificent Rose of vigorous, erect growth; exceed- 
‘ingly free blooming during the entire summer and autumn. The 
_ flowers produced on every shoot are very large, full and of great 
substance and perfect form, with high centre, from which the 
petals gracefully reflex; in color a delightful tone of flesh-pink, 
distinct from all others; delicately tea-scented.

The Daily Mail Rose 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1914) 
Winner of the Gold Cup, which was offered by the London 
Daily Mail for the BEST NEW ROSE, exhibited at the 
International Horticultural Exhibition, held in London, England, 
‘May, 1912; also awarded Gold Medal by the National Rose 
Society of England, 1913. In color its buds are coral-red, 
shaded with yellow at the base, 
the open flowers of medium size, 
semi-double, are of a superb coral 
red, shaded with yellow and bright 
rosy-scarlet passing to shrimp-red. 
Mme. Jules 
Bouche 
(Croibier, 1911) 
__ While not a pure white, it being 
at times slightly tinted with blush 
on the reverse of the petals, we 
consider it one of the best white 
bedding Roses. It is quite double, 
and of fine form in bud as well as 
in the fully expanded flower; a 
strong grower and very free flow- 
ering. 
Ophelia 
(Wm. Paul & Son, 1913) 
A variety which has made such 
a record for itself that qualifies it 
to be classed with the very best, a 
Rose that is admired by every one, 
its flowers are held erect on long stiff stems, are of perfect form, 
large size, and of a most pleasing delicate tint of salmon-flesh, 
shaded with rose, very floriferous. 
Radiance 
(Cook, 1909) 
An ideal bedding Rose of American origin that continues to 
produce its large flowers throughout the most unfavorable hot 
summer weather when frequently many other varieties fail, in 
color a brilliant carmine-pink, with salmon-pink and yellow 
shadings at the base of the petals; truly a Rose for every garden. 
Red Radiance 
(Gude, 1916) 
A counterpart of Radiance except in color which is a clear 
cerise-red, a most valuable addition to our list of bedding 
Roses.
