Why Dreer’s Roses are Superior 
All our Roses are strong, budded, two-year-old, field-grown 
plants, carefully dug in the fall, planted in pots, and stored in 
cold greenhouses or cold frames where artificial heat is used only 
to exclude the most severe frost. During the latter part of 
March these potted plants are moved to beds in the open 
ground where they receive no further protection. 
Under this treatment the plants develop in a natural way and 
are not only superior to stock which has been developed into 
full growth under glass but also are better for spring planting 
than plants which have been carried over winter in cellars or in 
cold storage under any method known to us.
