SELECT ROSES' 



DREER'S SELECT LIST OF 



HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



Under this heading we offer on this and the three pages following the World's best introductions of Hybrid-Tea 

 varieties prior to the year IOI5, 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 156 to 160, and our "Liberty " Collection, " Dreer's Dozen " and " Peerless" Collections of Special Sorts offered on pages 

 161 to 163, form what is undoubtedly the finest collection 

 of Hybrid=Tea Roses ever offered to the Rose loving 

 American public. 



Antoine Rivoire (Pernet-Ducher, 1896). An idea 

 bedding Rose of large size, exquisite form and col- 

 oring, which is soft peach-flesh with deeper shad- 

 ings; 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 develop- 

 ment; as the flower matures it opens to a soft 

 salmon-pink; a good, full flower, very free and 

 distinct. 



Belle Siebrecht, or Mrs. W. J. Grant (Dickson 

 & Sons, 1895). A superb Rose of brilliant pink 

 color; the sweetly-perfumed flowers are large, of 

 good form; buds long and tapering. 



Betty (Dickson & Sons, 1905). Early in the season this is 

 a disappointment in the first flowers which it opens, but 

 after it becomes established it produces blooms of marvel- 

 ous beauty, particularly so in the autumn. Its large, de- 

 liciously-scented flowers are of a glowing coppery-rose 

 color, suffused with a golden sheen. 



Hybbid-Tea Rose Chateau dk Clos Vougeot 



Chateau de Clos Vougeot (Pernet-Ducher, 1908). An 

 ideal Rose of a dazzling color, being a rich scarlet, 

 shaded fiery red, changing to dark velvety crimson as the 

 flowers expand; as dark, but richer in color, than the 

 popular Hybrid-Perpetual variety Prince Camille de 

 Rohan, it blooms continuously throughout the season. 



Dean Hole ( Dickson & Sons, 1904). Silvery-carmine with 

 salmon shadings, large, full, of fine form and very fra- 

 grant; a variety of great excellence. 



Duchess of Sutherland (Dickson & Sons, 1912). A 

 strikingly beautiful Rose of decided merit. The blooms 

 are freely produced and are carried on rigid stems; they 

 are large, full and conical, with a delightful sweet-briar 

 perfume. The color is novel, a delicate warm rose-pink 

 with lemon shading on the white base. 75 cts. each; 

 $7.50 per doz. 



Duchess of Westminster (Dickson &Sons, 1911). A 

 peerless Tea-like Rose with beautiful smooth and massive 

 petals. The blooms are very large, full and perfectly 

 formed, with high pointed centre. Very sweetly per- 

 fumed. The color, which is very novel, is a dainty 

 clear rose-madder. The growth is vigorous, erect and 

 of very free-flowering habit. A gorgeous and absolutely 

 distinct Rose. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Earl of Warwick (Paul & Son, 1904). A magnificent 



Rose and entirely distinct from all other varieties. The 



flowers are large and full, of beautiful form, and come perfect throughout the season under 



all weather conditions. In color it is a soft salmon-pink, shaded in the centre with vermilion. 



Price. Any of the above, except where noted, 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. ; $45.00 per 100. 

 Our offering of our new Hybrid-Tea Rose* is particularly fine this season. See pages 1 56 to 1 60
