Dreer’s Roses 
for the 
Garden 
Specially Prepared in Pots for Outdoor Planting 
While our old customers are familiar with the high-grade Roses which we send out we wish to 
direct the attention of those whonever have planted Dreer's Roses to their Superior quality due 
to the manner in which these plants are prepared which most effectively preserves their full 
strength and vigor, and insures perfect success with them. 
Why Dreer’s Roses are Superior 
All our Roses are strong, budded, two-year-old, field-grown 
plants, carefully dug in the fall, planted in pots, and stored in 
cold greenhouses or cold frames where artificial heat is used only 
to exclude the most severe frost. During the latter part of March 
these potted plants are moved to beds in the open ground where 
they receive no further protection. 
Under this treatment the plants develop in a natural way and 
are not only superior to stock which has been developed into full 
growth. under glass but also are better for spring planting than 
plants which have been carried over winter in cellars or in cold 
storage under any method known to us. 
Finest Quality 
at Reasonable Prices 
The prices at which these Roses are offered are as low as first 
class stock can be produced. Quality has not been sacrificed to 
meet the competition of the many low-priced offers which are 
being broadcast and which in the end must prove disappointing 
to the gardener who is interested to grow Roses of superior quality. 
Dreer's Roses have the reputation of being the best that it is 
possible to produce. With reasonable handling by the planter 
they will give the kind of results every flower lover is looking for.
