Hardy Everblooming Hybrid=Tea Roses. 



For Garden-cuiture the Hybrid-Tea Roses are rapidly taking tlie foremost rank. They have been produced by crossing llie free 

 flowering Tea Roses with other varieties, principally of the June-flowering or Hybrid Perpetual classes, thus combining not only the 

 &ee-flowering habit of the Tea Rose with the rich and varied colors of the other classes, but also comparative hardiness, all of the 

 "'arieties listed standing the winter with protection as recommended in the cultural notes on page 174 of this book. 



The greatest efforts of the world's most noted Rose-specialists during the past quarter of a century have been devoted to this clas? 

 ^f Rose, and the results achieved have been really wonderful. Not only is e%'ery color known in Roses now represented, but therf 

 are many beautiful shades and color combinations not found in the other types. 



At our Nurseries, Riverton, N. J., we have trial beds containing more than oOO varieties of Hybrid-Tea Roses alone, embracinp 

 ill the standard varieties as well as the latest introductions. An inspection of these is at all times interesting, and especially s 

 during the height of the Rose season, usually from the middle of May until the beginning of July. 



We list this season 116 varieties of Hybrid-Tea Roses. These, with the exception of a very few of the latest introductions, art 

 all varieties which we have found from actual test in the trials noted above to be sorts of superior merit and especially adapted tc 

 our climatic conditions, each and every one a perfect gem in its particular color or form. 



DREER'S THREE "REGAL" 



HARDY EVERBLOOMINQ HYBR1D=TEA ROSES. 



{Shoicn ill colors on the plate opposite.) 



We feel enthusiastic in recommending the three varieties shown on our colored plate this season. They are not untried novelties, 

 having beeri extensively planted in our own trial grounds during the past three or four years, and have made a most satisfactory 

 record in quality and quantity of bloom produced and in habit of growth and hardiness. Taken altogether, we believe they form 

 one of the best and most representative collections for general garden cultivation that we have ever offered in our colored plate 

 series. 



LAURENT CARL,E (Pemet-Oucher. 1907). 



The "Best" red Hybrid-Tea Rose yet introduced suited to our climate. It is brilliant carmine in color, of large size, deliciously 

 5cented; produces its large, perfect flowers throughout the season, nearly as good in hot, dry weather as under more favorable 

 weather conditions. The plant is a vigorous grower, and is as hardy as a Hybrid Perpetual. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts. 

 each; $.5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. 



"SHyiE,. SECOND WEBER ^Soupert & Nottins. isos). 



The most desirable Rose of its color in our collection. It is a vigorous grower, free-llowering, large, perfectly formed, cup- 

 shaped, fragrant flowers of marvellous beauty. In color it is of that soft shade of light salmon-pink which appeals to everyone. 

 Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $7. 50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



MARQUISE DE SINETV (Pemet-Ducber. isoe. 



Every one who has seen this beautiful Rose is enthusiastic over it. The buds are of a rich yellow-ochre, suffused with carmine; 

 the expanded flower, which is of good size, is fairly double, of perfect cupped shape, and of a rich golden-yellow or Roman ochre, 

 shaded with bright rosy-red, delightfully fragrant. Strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



One strong plant each of the three ''Regal" Roses for $2.00. 



DREER'S "INTERNATIONAL" COLLECTION OF 



HARDY EVERBLOOMINQ HYBRID=TEA ROSES. 



This collection was illustrated on our colored plate in our 1911 Garden Book; each one a perfect gem, and admitted by every 

 Rose fancier as among the very best of the Hybrid-Tea class. 



My riaryland. — One of the finest American introductions. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, very free-flowering, every 

 shoot bearing one or more flowers, which are double, of perfect form, of a bright but tender salmon-pink, which lightens up beau- 

 tifully as the flower expands, strongly and delightfully fragrant. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward. — Few Roses in our trial grounds attract as much attention as this beautiful French introduction, which in 

 color is a distinct shade of Indian-yellow, which, as the flower expands, shades lighter towards the edges, making a splendid color 

 combination, which is more decided in dry th:in wet weather, the yellow shading sometimes disappearing almost entirely in extended 

 periods of wet, cold weather; one of the freest-flowering varieties in our collection. 



Qeorge C. Waud. — A beautiful variety from the celebrated Irish growers, Messrs. Dickson, possessing a shade of color 

 hitherto unknown among Roses —a glowing orange- vermilion. The flowers are large, full, and of perfect form, with pointed centre 

 and highly tea-scented. The plant is of vigorous growth and very free-flowering. 



Price. Any of the "International" collection in strong two-year old plants, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz ; $60.00 per 100. 

 One each of the three sorts for $2.01.
