DREER’S SELECT LIST OF 
HYBRID-TEA ROSES 
Under this heading we offer on this and the three pages following the World’s best introductions of Hybrid=-Tea 
varieties prior to the year 1915, all of them sorts which we have had the pleasure of thoroughly testing in our own trial 
grounds, and which we fully endorse and recommend to the large and small planter, which, together with the newer sorts offered 
on pages 145 to 149, and our ‘‘Dreer’s Dozen”? and ‘‘ Peerless’’ Collections of Special Sorts offered on pages 151 and 152, form 
what is undoubtedly the finest collection of Hybrid=Tea 
Roses ever offered to the Rose loving American public. 
Antoine Rivoire (Pernet-Ducher, 1896), An ideal bedding 
Rose of large size, exquisite form and coloring, 
which is soft peach-flesh with deeper shadings; the 
base of the petals yellow. 
Arthur R. Goodwin (Pernet-Ducher, 1909). 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 develop- 
ment; as the flower matures it opens to a soft salmon 
pink; a good, full flower, very free and distinct. 
Betty (Dickson & Sons, 1905). Early in the season 
this is a disappointment in the first flowers which it 
opens, but after it becomes established it produces 
blooms of marvellous beauty, particularly so in the 
autumn. Its large, deliciously-scented flowers are of 
a glowing coppery-rose color, suffused with a golden 
sheen. 
Chateau de Clos Vougeot (Pernet-Ducher, 1908). An 
ideal Rose of a dazzling color, being a rich scarlet, shaded 
fiery red, changing to dark velvety crimson as the flowers ex- 
pand ; as dark, but richer in color, than the popular Hybrid- 
Perpetual variety Prince Camille de Rohan; it blooms continu- 
ously throughout the season. Hysrip-Tza Rosg CHATEAU DE CLos VouGEor 
Dean Hole (Dickson & Sons, 1904). Silvery-carmine 
with salmon shadings, large, full, of fine form and very 
fragrant; a variety of great excellence. 
Duchess of Sutherland (Dickson & Sons, 1912). A 
strikingly beautiful Rose of decided merit, The blooms 
are freely produced and are carried on rigid stems; they 
are large, full and conical, with a delightful sweet-briar 
perfume. The color is novel, a delicate warm rose- 
pink with lemon shading on the white base. $1.00 each. 
Duchess of Westminster (Dickson & Sons, 1911). 
A peerless Tea-like Rose with beautiful smooth and 
massive petals. The blooms are very large, full and 
perfectly formed, with high pointed centre. Very 
sweetly perfumed. The color, which is very novel, is 
a dainty clear rose-madder. The growth is vigorous, 
erect and of very free-flowering habit. A gorgeous 
and absolutely distinct Rose. 
Earl of Warwick (Paul & Son, 1904). A magnificent 
Rose and entirely distinct from all other varieties. The 
flowers are large and full, of beautiful form, and come 
perfect throughout the season under all weather con- 
ditions. In color it is a soft salmon-pink, shaded in 
the centre with vermilion, 
Edith Part (McGredy, 1914). A Rose with a novel 
and entirely distinct blend of color, which is a rich red 
: with a suffusion of deep salmon and coppery-yellow 
Fests ROSE with a deeper shading in the bud stage of carmine and 
See ON yellow; very sweetly scented.
