HARDY EVERBLOOMING HYBRID-TEA ROSES 



For many years it has been customary for us to offer under this heading only the very best and most popular, well-tried varieties 

 of Hybrid-Tea Roses, with the majority of which every lover of the Rose is familiar. 



We recommend this collection for general planting to the amateur who wishes a limited number of varieties, and who is desirous of 

 a supply of extra choice flowers to cut throughout the season. Those who desire a more extensive collection can select with perfect 

 confidence any variety in our collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses. There is not one individual sort which we cannot endorse as possessing 

 superior merit, all having been thoroughly tested. 



Duchess of Wellington. The most popular yellow garden I Mme. Edouard Herriot, the Daily Mail Rose. In color its 

 Rose. Intense saffron-yellow stained with deep crimson, chang- I buds are coral-red, shaded with yellow at the base, the open 

 ing to a deep coppery saffron-yellow as the ^fa^ fl ° WerS ° f medi Um S ' Ze ' semi - double> are 



flowers develop. The flowers are fairly full, jJg jfei Uperb ""''' ""'' shaded Wllh 



with large petals, great substance, delight- *fl BCl y ellow and bri S bt rosy-scarlet passing 



fully fragrant and very free- 

 flowering. 

 Hadley. One of the best high 

 colored varieties, an intense, 

 rich, dazzling, crimson-scar- 

 let shading to velvety crim- 

 son, deliciously fragrant. The 

 plant is of vigorous growth, 

 and is particularly fine in the 

 Autumn. 

 Imperial Potentate . Intro- 

 duced only five years ago, 

 this beautiful vari- 

 ety has already found 

 a place among the 

 most popular garden 

 sorts. Its splendidly 

 shaped buds develop 

 large, sweet scented double 

 flowers of crisp, glistening 

 rose-pink with silvery suf- 

 fusion at the base of the 

 petals. Of strong, vigorous 

 erect habit of growth, and 

 very free flowering. 



LOS Angeles. This is, by all 



odds, one of the finest Roses 



ever introduced. The growth 



is very vigorous, and pro- 

 duces a continuous succession 



of long-stemmed flowers of a 



luminous flame-pink, toned with coral and shaded with trans- 

 lucent gold at the base of the petals. In richness of fragrance 



it equals in intensity the finest Marechal Neil. The buds are 



long and pointed, and expand into a flower of mammoth pro- 

 portions, while the beauty of form and ever-increasing wealth of 



color is maintained from the incipient bud until the last petal 



drops. 

 Mme. Jules Bouche. While not a pure white, it being at 



times slightly tinted with blush at the centre, it is to all intents 



white and without question the best white everblooming bedding 



Rose yet introduced. The flowers are large, quite double and 



of splendid form both in the bud as well as in the fully expanded 



flower; it is fragrant, a vigorous growei and very free flowering. 

 Mrs. William C. Egan. An extremely vigorous strong healthy 



grower, with long, pointed buds of absolutely perfect form, that 



develop into flowers of good shape. In color it is a two-tone 



pink, the reverse of the petals a soft light pink, the interior 



deep flesh color with a golden line at the base of the petals; the 



flowers are carried on long stiff stems, and last in good condition 



for an unusually long time, either cut or on the plant; an excep- 



mto 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Los Angeles 



Padre. One of the finest bedding 

 Roses of recent introduction which 

 has quickly gained a prominent 

 position as such. Its color 

 is a brilliant coppery scar- 

 let flushed with yellow at 

 the base, a brilliant 

 rich color combina- 

 tion. The beautiful 

 . long buds are borne 

 on very long stiff 

 stems and are splendid for 

 cutting and while the fully, 

 developed flowers are only 

 semi-double they are of 

 unusual formation and 

 attractive in all stages. 

 One of the freest flower- 

 ing Hybrid-Tea varieties. 



Radiance. An ideal bed- 

 ding Rose of American 

 origin that continues to 

 produce its large flowers 

 throughout the most un- 

 favorable 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. A counterpart of Radiance from which it 

 is a "sport," possessing all the good traits of that valuable 

 variety but differing 



in color which is a bright cerise-red. 



tionally free and continuous bloomer 



Price. Any of the above, in strong two-year-old plants, $1.00 each; $11.00 per doz.; $' 

 One each of the "Dreer Dozen," a fine collection, for $11.00. 



Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower 

 of erect branching habit, beautiful, brilliant green foliage, long 

 pointed buds of exquisite shape, carried on long, stiff stems. 

 Very large, full flowers with elongated deep petals, a beautifully 

 formed bloom. Color, striking sunflower-yellow, deeper in the 

 centre, v/ithout any color blending, and which is retained 

 without fading even in the warmest weather. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. This stands at the head of the 

 list of the many valuable garden Roses that have been produced 

 by Mr. Pernet- Ducher. It is a strong, vigorous grower and pro- 

 duces its large flowers which are beautiful in both bud and fully 

 developed bloom, which are of an intense oriental red, shading 

 to cochineal carmine at the margin of the petals, the whole 

 being suffused with a golden sheen.
