The Dreer "Gold Medal Dozen' 



New Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses 



New Hybrid-Tea Rose 

 Margaret McGredy 



Charles P. Kilham. A brilliant, distinct and striking novelty. 

 The buds are long pointed of perfect shape, opening to high 

 centered double flowers of rich and brilliant Oriental red, flushed 

 with orange and glowing scarlet. A vigorous grower; very free 

 flowering and sweetly tea-scented. See illustration, page 140. 

 $1.50 each. 



Dame Edith Helen. Perfect buds developing into wonderful 

 flowers of immense size are produced singly on well-foliaged 

 strong canes. The flowers are composed of very substantial 

 broad petals which curl back prettily forming a glorious long 

 pointed bud and a full double flower which is beautiful in every 

 stage of development. Color a brilliant yet soft Rose du Barri 

 pink; strongly sweet-scented. $1.00 each. 



Duchess of Athol. The coloring of this new variety is uncommon and delight- 

 ful, an old golden orange flushed with peach pink, particularly attractive in the 

 bud and open state, growth vigorous, a continuous profuse bloomer. See 

 illustration, page 141. $1.50 each. 



Golden Dawn. A magnificent new Rose with which we have been most favor- 

 ably impressed, an ideal garden Rose of an exquisite light lemon yellow color. 

 Its buds are of an ovoid form, heavily splashed with crimson before opening and 

 develop into splendidly shaped full double moderately fragrant flowers. See 

 illustration, page 141. $1.50 each. 



Julien Potin (The Golden Pernet). Unquestionably the most gorgeous and 

 brilliant yellow Rose yet introduced, a rich golden yellow that grows richer and 

 deeper as the flowers mature. The buds are long and shapely and develop into 

 large, full flowers of beautiful form, delightfully sweet-scented. See illustration, 

 page 143. $1.50 each. 



Lady Florence Stronge. Distinct and novel color; a reddish prawn to violet old rose 

 shading to yellow at the base and pink towards the edge, the inner surface of the petals 

 heavily veined and flushed scarlet, the flowers are large, full with high centres and fragrant. 

 §1.00 each. 



Margaret McGredy. We consider this a masterpiece of McGredy's. Large brilliantly- 

 colored double flowers of an entrancing shade of rich Oriental red, passing to carmine-rose, 

 lasting a long time. The plant is of vigorous bushy habit, very free flowering; light spicy 

 fragrance. $1.00 each. 



The wonderful advance made during recent years 

 in this popular type of Rose is well exemplified in 

 this collection of twelve varieties of outstanding 

 merit of recent introduction, and we especially rec- 

 ommend this Gold Medal Dozen as a desirable up- 

 to-date addition to the thousands of our patrons who 

 now have the Dreer Dozen growing in their gardens. 



Lady Margaret Stewart. A Rose of unique 

 color, the flowers in the young stage are a deep 

 sunflower yellow heavily veined, splashed with 

 orange-scarlet, reverse of the petals deeply 

 suffused with carmine as the flowers develop 

 these colors intermingle forming a beautiful 

 cadmium orange effect. The bud is long and 

 pointed, opening to a full double flower, of 

 pleasing decorative form of delightfully sweet 

 scent. See illustration, page 147. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. A. R. Barraclough. A most distinct 

 and valuable Rose, of a bright but soft 

 sparkling carmine-pink of even tone that 

 passes to yellow at the base of the petals; this at- 

 tractive color does not fade as the flower ages, but 

 if anything becomes richer and brighter. The bud 

 is long pointed and develops into a full double 

 flower of model form and substance; very fragrant. 

 See illustration, page 149. $1.00 each. 



Norman Lambert. A distinct color combination 

 that is novel. The outside of the petals is a deep 

 chrome yellow with a marginal color effect of brilliant 

 orange scarlet merging to an irregular zone of burnt 

 orange, the inside salmon-orange suffused bronze, 

 shading to yellow at the base. The flowers are of 

 medium size and form, delightfully fragrant and free- 

 flowering. A splendid bedder. $1.50 each. 

 Patience. One of the finest Roses of recent introduction. Its 

 splendid long pointed buds are of a deep scarlet carmine opening 

 to large fragrant double perfect blooms that shade from orange at 

 the base of the petals to rich carmine at the edges. It is of strong 

 robust habit and extremely free flowering for a Rose of its large 

 size. See illustration, page 146. $1.50 each. 

 Rev. F. Page Roberts. A Rose of remarkable beauty both in 

 form and color. The long pointed buds are of a coppery-red 

 stained red on the outside and open to good full double fragrant 

 flowers of a golden-yellow particularly high colored in late 

 summer and fall. The plant is of vigorous branching habit with 

 beautiful foliage. $1.50 each. 



We will supply one strong two-year-old plant each of the Gold Medal Dozen for $15.09
