Dreer's POTTED ROSES 



Shrub Roses 



We group under this heading various types and species of Roses that are 

 of strong habit of growth and will be found especially adapted to plant in 

 mixed shrubbery borders, or in separate beds or groupings, or as individual 

 specimens in the garden. 



Rugosa Roses and their Hybrids 



Blanc Double de Coubert. Double pure white. 



Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Clear silvery rose. 



Hansa. Attractive double reddish violet. 



Red F. J. Grootendorst. Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose covered with 

 trusses of lovely crimson Baby Roses and you will have a fair conception 

 of this new hybrid variety. It is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen 

 or in a mass in a bed or in the shrubbery border or may be used as an ever- 

 blooming hedge. Hardy, and continues in bloom until late in the fall. 



Pink F. J. Grootendorst. Identical with the above variety, except in 

 color, wliich is a splendid clear pink. 



Rugosa. Large single rosy carmine. 



— alba. Large single white. 

 Any of the above: 85c each; $9.00 per doz. Set of 7 varieties for $5.00. 



Rosa Hugonis 



Rose Species 



Rosa Hugonis. A splendid Rose for the shrubbery border with 

 delicate yellow single flowers produced on long arching sprays 

 early in May; after it has finished flowering it remains an attrac- 

 tive decorative bush for the balance of the season; perfectly 

 hardy. 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 



Rosa Xanthina. Double bright yellow flowers about two inches 

 across. It is a strong grower which is at home in Turkestan

 lustre. The base of each petal is yellow.

Dreer's Roses 



Your success with Roses depends primarily upon the 

 quality of the plants you secure. Cheap stock invariably 

 is inferior and cannot produce vigorous plants that will 

 support an abundance of large and perfect blooms. While 

 cheap in the beginning they really are the most expensive 

 in the end because they can only cause dissatisfaction. 

 After all the slightly higher cost of Dreer's Quality Roses 

 is a minor expenditure compared with the results they 

 produce. A few Rose plants of Dreer quality will give 

 you more blooms than twice the quantity to be had from 

 inferior stock. But that is not all. The flowers from 

 Dreer Quality Roses will be larger, better, and they last 

 longer. 



Trailing Rose, Max Graf 



Trailing Hybrid-Rugosa Rose Max Graf 



Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will be found 

 most valuable as a ground cover for which purpose it is far superior 

 to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The foliage resembles Rosa 

 Rugosa and is retained very late in the season. It is practically 

 immune to insects and diseases and is absolutely hardy. The 

 single, bright pink flowers are large and have prettily crimped 

 petals. For planting on a steep bank or for trailing over a stone 

 wall, it has no equal. 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 



Moss Roses 



Blanche Moreau. Large, pure white. 

 Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 

 Golden Moss. A true Moss Rose with golden bulT flowers tinted 

 pink and passing to creamy white. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 

 Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 

 Salet. Large, full double, light rose. 



Except where noted: 85c each. 

 One each of the 5 Moss Roses $4.00.
