HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SELECT ROSES 



Select Hardy Hybrid -Perpetual Roses 



The, varieties listed below are unquestionably 

 the best in the Hybrid-Perpetual class, which, be- 

 fore the development of the Hybrid-Teas, was

 even now they dare not be overlooked, but should 

 be used extensively in conjunction with the other 

 sorts.

 son ; very large, double, fragrant flowers ; a 

 strong grower.

 -5 ering ; superb in every way.

 ', crimson; an old favorite and one of the 

 j best-known Roses in cultivation.

MEMORIAL, OR EVERGREEN ROSE 



Rosa Wichuraiana. This is of Japanese origin, and flowers during 

 June and July, and is of a trailing habit of growth, very hardy, and 

 recommended for covering graves; hence one of its names— Memorial 

 Rose — climbing over walls, arbors, stumps of trees, or for trailing 

 over rocks or rough ground; in fact, anywhere where a climbing or 

 trailing Rose can be used. The foliage is of leathery texture, of a 

 beautiful shining green, and not only proof against all insects, but is 

 retained on the plants until late in the winter, making it almost ever- 

 green. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $40.00 

 per 100. 



BRIER ROSES 



Common Sweet Brier. This is the true English Sweet Brier, or Eg- 

 lantine. The single pink flowers are quite artistic, but it is valued most 

 on account of the refreshing fragrance of its leaves.
