HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— SELECT ROSES 



/^ 



Select List of Hybrid-Tea Roses 



Under this heading we offer the workl'3 beet introductions previous to the j'ear 1913. All of them varieties which we 

 have had the pleasure of trying out in our own trial grounds, and which we can fully endorse and recommend to the large 

 and small planter. 



For the latest introductions see pages 14 and 15. 



Arthur R. Goodwin. 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 

 development ; as the flower matures it opens to a soft 

 salmon-pink. 



Betty. When once established produces blooms of marvel- 

 lous beauty, which are of a glowing coppery-rose color, 

 suffused with a golden sheen. 



Caroline Testout. One of the most popular and valuable 



bedding varieties; large, full, globular flowers of bright 



satiny-rose, with brighter centre ; very free and fragrant. 

 Chateau de CIos Vougeot. An ideal Rose, of a dazzling 



color, being a rich scarlet, sliaded fiery red, changing to 



dark velvety crimson as the flowers expand. 75 cts. each ; 



})7.50 per doz. 

 Countess of Gosford. A splendid free-flowering Rose, of 



a beautiful salmon-pink rose, the base of petals suffused 



with saffron yellow. 



Dean Hole. Silvery carmine with salmon shadings ; large, 

 full and of fine form ; a variety of great excellence. 



Duchess of Westminster. The blooms are very large, 

 full and perfectly formed, with high-pointed centre. The 

 color, is a dainty, clear rose-madder. 75 cts. each ; $7.50 

 per doz. 



Farbenkonigin or Queen of Colors. A verj' attractive 

 and showy imperial pink. One of the most popular Roses 

 in Europe.

 black ; flowers large, full, of excellent shape and remark- 

 able fragrance. $1.00 each. 



Franz Deegen. Rich yellow, shading to orange in the 

 centre of the flower, which is of medium size. 



George C. Waud. A beautiful glowing vermilion with 

 orange-red suffusion. The flowers are large, full, of per- 

 fect form, and highly tea- scented. 



Qruss an Teplltz. This is a Rose for everybody, succeed- 

 ing under the most ordinary conditions. In color it is of 

 the richest scarlet, shading to a velvety-crimson very fra- 

 grant, a free, strong grower and in bloom all the time. 



Gustav Grunerwald. Carmine-pink, centre yellow, buds 

 long and pointed ; one of the best. 



Joseph Hill. A perfect gem ; in color a lovely shade of 

 salmon-pink. 



Kaiserln Augusta Victoria. This splendid Rose should 

 be in every collection. In color it is a soft pearly- white, 

 tinted with just enough lemon in the centre to relieve the 

 white. 



Killarney. This is, perhaps, the best known of Dickson's 

 famous Irish Hybrid-Tea Roses, and is one of the most 

 popular of our garden Roses. It is perfectly hardy, and 

 as free flowering as any Rose we know. In color it is a 

 sparkling brilliant pink ; the blooms are large, the buds 

 long and pointed, the petals very large and of great sub- 

 stance, and just as handsome in the full-blown flower as 

 in the bud form.

 seven inches across and perfect in form, both in bud and 

 when fully expanded. In color a beautiful satiny-rose, 

 with the reverse of the petals silvery rose. 



La France. An old favorite, flowers clear satiny-pink. 



La Tosca. Beautiful silvery-pink, with deeper centre.

 slightly flushed deeper flesh ; a remarkably attractive and 

 pleasing color combination. 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per 

 doz.

 shaded with garnet ; fine long bud. 75 cts. each ; f7.50 

 per doz.
