Dreer's POTTED ROSES 



Shrub Roses 



We group under this heading various types and species of Roses that are 

 of strong habit of growth and will be found especially adapted to plant in 

 mixed shrubbery borders, or in separate beds or groupings, or as individual 

 specimens in the garden. 



Rugosa Roses and their Hybrids 



Blanc Double de Coubert. Double pure white. 



Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Clear silvery rose. 



Hansa. Attractive double reddish violet. 



Red F. J. Grootendorst. Imagine a shrub-like Rugosa Rose covered with 

 trusses of lovely crimson Baby Roses and you will have a fair conception 

 of this fine hybrid variety. It is valuable to plant as an isolated specimen 

 or in a mass in a bed or in the shrubbery border or may be used as an ever- 

 blooming hedge. Hardy, and continues to bloom until late in the fall. 



Pink F. J. Grootendorst. Identical with the preceding variety, except 

 in color, which is a splendid clear pink. 



Rugosa. Large, single rosy carmine. 



— alba. Large single white. 



Any of the above: 8Sc each; $9.00 per doz. 



MR^- 1- S8r. 



Rosa Hugonis 



Rose Species 



Rosa Hugonis. This species is most outstanding in several 

 ways. It is a splendid Rose for the shrubbery border where it 

 may be used in connection with other shrubs. The vigorous 

 upright habit makes it eminently suited to this purpose and the 

 long arching flower sprays set with delicate yellow single blooms 

 early in May present a truly charming appearance. During the 

 rest of the year it serves as a decorative shrub presenting a mass 

 of small graceful bright green foliage. 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 



Rosa Xanthina. This splendid Shrub Rose may be used in the 

 same way as the preceding variety. It is a strong grower 

 covered with beautiful double bright yellow flowers two inches 

 across during early spring. It is a native of Turkestan and 

 Afghanistan. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



Austrian Brier Roses 



A very hardy type which will give the best results with very 

 little pruning, since the flowers are produced from the upper end 

 of the old wood. This class is noted for its excellent rich tones of 

 yellow and copper. 



Austrian Copper. Bright coppery red; reverse golden yellow. 

 Harison's Yellow. Fine double golden yellow flowers. 

 Persian Yellow. Medium sized, deep yellow, double flowers. 



Any of the three: 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 



Dreer's Roses 



Your success with Roses depends primarily upon the 

 quality of the plants you secure. Cheap stock invariably 

 is inferior and cannot produce vigorous plants that will 

 support an abundance of large and perfect blooms. While 

 cheap in the beginning they really are the most expensive 

 in the end because they can only cause dissatisfaction. 

 After all the slightly higher cost of Dreer's Quality Roses 

 is a minor expenditure compared with the results they 

 produce. A few Rose plants of Dreer quality will give 

 you more blooms than twice the number of plants of 

 inferior stock. But that is not all. The flowers from 

 Dreer Quality Roses will be larger, better, and they last 

 longer. 



Max Graf 



Trailing Roses 



Max Graf. Makes an excellent pillar or climbing Rose, but will 

 be found most valuable as a ground cover for which purpose it is 

 far superior to any of the Wichuraiana varieties. The fohage 

 resembles Rosa Rugosa and is retained very late in the season. 

 It is practically immune to insects and diseases and is absolutely 

 hardy. The single, bright pink flowers are 1 arge and have prettily 

 crimped petals. For planting on a steep bank or for trailing over 

 a stone wall, it has no equal. 75c each; $8.00 per doz. 



Wichuraiana {Memorial Rose). Fragrant, single, pure white 

 flowers with yeUow stamens followed in the fall by bright red 

 hips or berries. Produces a dense mat of almost evergreen 

 foliage. 75c each; $8,00 per doz. 



Moss Roses 



A group with fragrant flowers highly valued for the Moss-like 

 sepals which give a beautiful effect to the buds. 

 Blanche Moreau. Large, pure white. 

 Crested Moss. Rose color, beautifully crested. 

 Henry Martin. Fine crimson, very vigorous. 

 Salet. Large, fuU double, light rose. 



Any of the above: 85c each; $9.00 per doz. 

 One each of the 4 Moss Roses, for $3.00.
