~ SELECT: ROSES 
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. * 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 151, and they are especially recommended to such of 
our friends who have already planted that collection. 
Florence Pemberton 
(Dickson & Sons, 1903) 
An excellent bedding Rose of vigorous habit of growth flow- 
ering profusely throughout the season, continuing in good shape 
during hot summer weather. In color it is a creamy-white suf- 
fused with pink, a fine bold flower with high pointed centre and 
great depth of petal. 
Killarney 
Queen 
(Budlong, 1912) 
A decided improvement on 
the popular Killarney, with 
larger, fragrant, well formed 
buds and flowers, which are 
absolutely perfect in all stages 
of development; they are of 
a sparkling cerise-pink color, 
shading lighter at the base of 
the petals, a strong, vigorous 
grower and free bloomer. 
Louise Cather- 
ine Breslau 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1912) 
Entirely distinct from all 
other Rosesin color; the buds 
are coral-red shaded with 
chrome-yellow, while the ex- 
panded flowers, which are 
very large, are of a superb 
shrimp-pink shaded coppery- 
orange and chrome yellow. 
Mme. Edouard 
Herriot 
The Daily Mail Rose 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1914) 
Winner of the Gold Cup, 
which was offered by the 
London Daily Mail for the 
BEST NEW ROSE, exhibited at the International Horti- 
cultural Exhibition, held in London, England, May, 1912; also 
awarded Gold Medal by the National Rose Society of England, 
1913. In color its buds are 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 rosy-scarlet 
passing to shrimp-red. 
Mme. Ravary 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1900) 
Should be in every collection on account of its distinct color, 
which is of a rich, deep nankeen-yellow, becoming lighter as the 
flower expands. The flowers are of splendid form, full, double 
and very fragrant. 
Mrs. Arthur Robert Waddell 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1908) 
An attractive colored variety that everyone likes, a delicate, 
soft, rosy-salmon, suffused with a golden sheen; flowers of 
medium size, especially handsome in half-expanded form; a 
free-flowering garden variety that should be in every collection. 
Mme. Epovarp Herriot oR Dairy Mart Rose 
Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller 
: (McGredy, 1909) 
Asa pink bedding Rose there is none better, and particularly 
so for massing, the flowers are distinct and novel in shape, the 
petals having wavy or crisped edges not unlike a Peony. The 
flowers, which are of large size, remain perfect on the bushes 
for a long time and are produced very freely; they are of a 
bright pink color with lighter shadings, the plant is vigorous, 
and free and perpetual flowering. 
Pharisaer 
(Hinner, 1903) 
Exceptionally free-flower- 
ing, producing long buds, 
which open into large, double 
flowers of a rosy- white, shad- 
ing to a pretty soft salmon. 
A fine garden Rose that never 
disappoints in quality or in 
quantity. One of the best. 
Radiance 
(Cook, 1909) 
An ideal bedding Rose or 
American origin that con- 
tinues to produce its large 
flowers throughout the most 
unfavorable hot summer 
weather when frequently 
many other varieties fail, in 
color a brilliant carmine pink, 
with salmon-pink and yellow 
shadings at the base of the 
petals; truly a Rose for every 
garden. 
Red Radiance 
(Gude, 1916) 
A counterpart of Radiance except in color which is a clear 
cerise-red, a most valuable addition to our list of bedding 
Roses. 
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 
(Pernet-Ducher, 1914) 
This splendid Rose is of a coral-red color, suffused with car- 
mine in the bud state, and opens to a large, full, hancsome 
flower of a rich shrimp-pink, shaded yellow in the centre and 
flushed carmine pink towards the edges of the petals.
