DREER’S “PEERLESS” COLLECTION OF 
TWELVE HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
This collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses is made up principally of varieties of comparatively recent introduction, in fact two years 
ago some of these sorts were high-priced novelties. All of them, however, have been thoroughly tested out in our own trial grounds, 
and are sorts which we can recommend as worthy companions to, but entirely distinct from, the popular ‘‘Dreer Dozen’’ offered on 
page 179, and they are especially recommended to such of our friends who have already planted that collection. 
Chateau De Clos VYougeot. 
(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 ex- 
pand; as dark but richer in color than the popular Hybrid Per- 
petual variety Prince Camille de Rohan; it blooms continu- 
ously throughout the season. 
Duchess of Wellington. 
(Dickson & Sons, 1909.) 
Intense saffron-yellow stained with deep crimson, changing to 
a deep coppery saffron-yellow as the flowers develop. ‘The 
flowers are fairly full, with large petals of great substance, de- 
lightfully fragrant and very free- 
flowering. 
George Dickson. 
(Dickson & Sons, 1913.) 
We give below Messrs. Dick- 
son’s own description of this 
beautiful Rose, all of which we 
can endorse from results seen 
in our own trial grounds. The 
only fault we can find is that it has 
not, with us, the perpetual flowering 
habit expected in a hybrid-tea Rose; 
but this is offset by the brilliant 
gorgeous display of deliciously fra- 
grant flowers which it furnishes 
during June, equalled by no other 
high-colored variety. ‘‘Of vigor- 
ous growth, and produces huge 
blooms quite five inches across, while 
its huge leathery shell-shaped petals 
have wonderful iasting qualities. 
The color is velvety black scarlet 
crimson with brilliant scarlet re- 
flexed tips.’? Awarded Gold Medal, 
National Rose Society of England. 
Killarney Brilliant. 
(Dickson & Sons, 1914.) 
Killarney Brilliant is a sport from 
the original in which we have a 
Rose far more intense and rich in coloring, it being almost a 
crimson of a rich glowing shade, and in addition to its rich 
color it is also larger and more double than its parent. A 
truly magnificent Rose. 76 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 
per 100. 
Louise Catherine Breslau. 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1912.) 
Entirely distinct from all other Roses in color, the buds are 
coral-red shaded with chrome yellow, while the expanded flow- 
ers which are very large, are of a superb shrimp-pink shaded 
coppery-orange and chrome yellow. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per 
doz.; $60.00 per 100. 
Marquise de Sinety. 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1906.) 
While only a moderate grower every cne who has seen this 
beautiful Rose is enthusiastic over it. The buds are of a rich 
yellow-ochre, suffused with carmine; the expanded flower, of 
good size, is semi-double, of a rich golden yellow or Roman 
ochre, shaded with bright rosy-red. 
Mg. Epovarp Herriot or Dairy Mait Rose 
Mme. Edouard Merriot. The Daily Mail Rose 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1914.) 
Winner of the Gold Cup, which was offered by the London 
Daily Mait for the BEST NEW ROSE, exhibited at the In- 
ternational Horticultural Exhibition, held in London, Engiand, 
May, 1912, also awarded Gold Medal by the National Rose 
Society of England, 1913. 
M. Pernet-Ducher describes its color as follows: ‘‘Buds coral- 
red, shaded with yellow at the base, the open flowers of medium 
size, semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, shaded with yellow 
and bright jrosy-scarlet passing to 
shrimp-red. 
Mine. 
Jules Bouche. 
(Croibier, 1911.) 
A variety that is particularly fine 
for Summer and Fall flowers. It 
is not pure white, the color being 
relieved by a faint pink tinting; it 
is quite double and fine both in 
the bud as well as in the fully ex- 
panded flower. A strong vigor- 
ous grower and very free-flower- 
ing. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; 
$60.00 per 100. 
Mime. 
Melanie Soupert. 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1906.) 
For delicacy in coloring it would 
be difficult to surpass this magni- 
ficent semi-double large flowered 
variety which is especially fine in 
the bud form, in color a charming 
pale tint of salmon-yellow with 
pink and carmine suffusion. 
Miss Cynthia Forde. 
(Hugh Dickson, 1909.) 
Flowers of great substance, color a deep brilliant rose shading 
on the back of the petals to a light rosy-pink. The flowers are 
large, full, of perfect form, very free-flowering and fragrant. 
Sunburst. 
(Pernet-Ducher. 1912.) 
A superb Rose of good vigorous habit, flowers of fair size of 
elongated cup form and fine in the bud or half-open flower, color 
a rich cadmium-yellow with orange-yellow centre. 
Willowmere.

This splendid Rose is of a coral-red color, suffused with car- 
mine in the bud state, and opens to a large, full, handsome 
flower of a rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the centre and 
flushed carmine-pink towards the edges of the petals. 75 cts.
