GENERAL LIST OF DREER'S SELECT 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



The Roses offered on this and the following pages represent the cream of the novelties of recent years, together with the best standard 

 well tried varieties, all of them sorts that have been thoroughly tested and which we unhesitatingly recommend to the large and small 

 planter; not as the most extensive but what we believe is the finest collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose-loving American 



public.

 by any other Rose. Its buds are long, opening to 

 semi-double cupped fragrant flowers. An indis- 

 pensable variety that you will love for its won- 

 derful color.

 particularly so in the autumn. Color glowing 

 coppery-rose, suffused with a golden sheen.

 Portland, Oregon, famous as the Rose City.

Chateau de Clos Vougeot. Beautiful rich flow- 

 ers, brilliant scarlet shaded fiery red changing to 

 dark velvety crimson as the blooms expand, very 

 double, intensely fragrant. 



Columbia. Of strong, vigorous habit and excep- 

 tionally free blooming. The flowers are perfect in 

 form. Color a most pleasing shade of rose-pink and 

 delightfully fragrant.

 noted, in strong two-year-old plants, $1 .00

 Twenty-five or more plants supplied at 

 100 rate, which is ten percent less than

 long orange-yellow buds, more or less streaked with crimson; 

 as they develop they open to a full globular flower of 

 golden-yellow.
