ITS ImNRVADREER PHTTADEDHTADASS_- SELECT: ROSES _ | 
“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 
varieties 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 should include Dreer’s ‘‘ Peerless’? Twelve offered on page 180, which we can recommend just as strongly; in fact, in 
our entire collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses offered on pages 172 to 184 there is not one individual sort which we cannot endorse 
as possessing superior merit, and with the exception of a very few of the latest novelties, which come to us from noted reliable 
ill 179 
specialists, all have been thoroughly tested in our own trial grounds, 
Caroline Testout. 
(Pernet-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. 
General MacArthur. 
(E. G. Hill, 1905.) 
As an all-round garden Rose, there is no variety of its color 
—a rich crimson scarlet—which will give equal satisfaction; a 
clean, healthy, vigorous grower, : a 
producing its sweetly-scented flow- 
ers of good form in great profusion 
even under ‘he most unfavorable 
weather conditions. 
Jonkheer 
J. L. Mock. 
(Leenders, 1910.) 
One of the best bedding varie- 
ties. The flowers, which are pro- 
duced with the greatest freedom on 
long stiffstems, are of large size and 
of perfect form, of a deep imperial- 
pink, the outside of the petals sil- 
very-rose white. 
Kaiserin 
AugustaVictoria, 
(Peter Lambert, 1891.) 
This splendid Rose 
should bein every collec- 
tion. In color it is a soft 
pearly-white, tinted with 
just enough lemon in the 
centre to relieve the white; 
remarkably fragrant, beau- 
tifully formed flowers on long graceful stems; 
a strong, free, healthy grower, with bold, 
handsome foliage. 
Killarney. 
(Dickson & Sons, 1898.) 
This is the best known of Dickson’s famous Irish Hybrid- 
Tea Roses, and is one of the most popular of our garden 
Roses. In color it is a sparkling brilliant pink, the blooms are 
large, the buds long and pointed, the petals very large and of 
great substance, and just as handsome in the full-blown flower 
as in the bud form. 
Lady Ashtown. 
(Dickson & Sons, 1904.) 
One of the freest-flowering varieties in the collection, and 
produces perfect blooms under all weather conditions. The 
flowers are large, double with high-pointed centre, and are 
produced on long stems; splendid for cutting; in color a soft 
rose, shading to yellow at the base of the petals. Illustrated on 
the plate opposite. 
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. 
Illustrated on the plate opposite. 
Laurent Carle. 
(Pernet-Ducher. 1907.) 
Produces its large, delicjously-scented, brilliant carmine 
flowers throughout the season, nearly as good in hot, dry 
weather as under more favorable weather conditions. A vig- 
. orous grower and as hardy asa Hybrid 
Perpetual. 
: Mme. Leon Pain. 
(Guillot. 1904.) 
Entirely distinct in color, a silvery - 
salmon, with deeper orange-yellow, 
shaded centre, the reverse of the petals 
being a salmony-pink; flow- 
ers large, full and well 
formed; veryfree-flowering. 
Mime. Ravary. 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1900.) 
Should be in every col- 
lection on account of its 
distinct color, which is of 
a rich, deep nankeen- yel- 
low, becoming lighter as 
the flower expands. The 
flowers are of splendid 
form, full, double and very 
fragrant. 
Mrs. Aaron 
Ward. 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) 
Aremarkably floriferous 
variety of strong, vigorous, - 
but compact growth; the 
young foliage is unusually 
attractive, a rich, bronzy- 
green color, the flowers 
which are of splendid form, 
full double, are equally 
attractive when full blown as in the bud state; in color a dis- 
tinct Indian-yellow, shading lighter towards the edges; in 
fact, under certain weather or atmospheric conditions, the 
entire flower will sometimes come a yellow-tinted white, but 
it is beautiful under all color variations. 
Ophelia. 
(Wm. Paul & Son, 1913.) 
A variety which has made such a record for itself that quali- 
fies it to be classed with the very best, a Rose that is admired 
by everyone, its flowers are held erect on long stiff stems, are 
of perfect form, large size; and of a most pleasing delicate 
shade of salmon-flesh, shaded with rose, very floriferous. Illus- 
trated on the plate opposite.
