Dreer's POTTED ROSES 



Polyantha or Baby Roses 



The Polyantha or Baby Roses represent a distinct 

 type which is very popular for bedding purposes. 

 The plants grow into shapely compact bushes 

 about 18 inches high and they are covered with a 

 great mass of flowers from early in the season until 

 severe frost destroys their beauty. The blooms, 

 though small, are very effective as they are ar- 

 ranged in showy trusses that accentuate their rich 

 and beautiful coloring.

Three Perpetual-Flowering 

 Bedding Roses 



The three varieties offered below are really outstanding and they 

 are grown extensively wherever the gardener desires a bedding 

 Rose that will bloom profusely and continuously. 



Gruss an Aachen. This is a very distinct Polyantha Rose 

 having exceptionally large blooms of good form. The color is 

 really enchanting — a fine clear shade of pink with a shading of 

 salmon. 85c each; S9. 00 per doz. 



Peaches and Cream (Howard & Smith, 1936). A unique Rose 

 with flowers of a formation like a double Begonia. The buds are 

 a deep salmon-pink opening to a combination of salmon, light 

 yellow, and a faint pink on the outer edges. The flower when 

 full open is a perfect baU. $100 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Pink Gruss an Aachen. This has all the desirable qualities of 

 Gruss an Aachen but its color is even more striking being quite 

 a shade richer and more intense, particularly in the pink 

 suffusion. 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 



One each of the above three 

 Perpetual-Flowering Bedding Roses for $2.50. 



Two New Bedding Roses 



Urange Glow 



Orange Glow (H. A. Verschuren & Sons, 1936). A new Baby 

 Rose from Holland producing large, upright trusses of bright 

 golden orange flowers. In our own trial ground this season this 

 variety has proved the brightest of all the Baby Roses. $1.00 

 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Sunshine. Rose lovers will be much interested in this splendid 

 new variety as it is the only reliable yellow-flowering Polyantha 

 Rose in existence. The buds are a beautiful deep orange-scarlet 

 but upon opening they assume a bronzy yellow shade which 

 gradually pales to a delicate creamy fawn color as they open up 

 fully. A bed of this new Rose presents a delightful and pleasing 

 aspect. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.
