The Dreer "Gold Medal Dozen" 



New Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses* 



The wonderful advance made during recent 

 years in this popular type of Rose is well 

 exemplified in this collection of twelve varieties 

 of outstanding merit of necent introduction, 

 and we especially recommend this Gold Medal 

 Dozen as a desirable up-to-date addition to the 

 thousands of our patrons who now have the 

 Dreer Dozen growing in their gardens. 



J. C. Thornton (Bees, 1926). A most 

 brilliant bright glowing scarlet crimson 

 with buds of exquisite form and fine, full, 

 well-shaped high-centered flowers of great 

 substance, borne singly on long strong 

 stems; of vigorous, free, growth. It may 

 prove to be our best red bedding variety. 

 A Gold Medal Rose of great importance. 

 $1.50 each. 

 Lucie Marie (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). 

 Very long pointed buds, deep yellow 

 splashed with red. As the outer petals 

 unfold, the inner face is yellow with cop- 

 pery venation with the tips of the petals 

 lightly tipped with pink, slightly fragrant. 

 It is of strong vigorous healthy habit of 

 growth with dark-leathery foliage. A most 

 distinct and interesting bedding variety. 

 Awarded Certificate of Merit National 

 Rose Society of England. $1.50 each. 

 Margaret McGredy (McGredy & Son, 1928). 

 We consider this a masterpiece of McGredy's. 

 Large briDiantly-colored double flowers of an 

 entrancing shade of rich Oriental red, passing 

 to carmine-rose, lasting a long time. The 

 plant is of vigorous bushy habit, very free 

 flowering; light spicy fragrance. $1.00 each. 



Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A mar- 

 velously beautiful Rose with a unique color combination not 

 found in any other variety, a most striking blending of dark 

 vivid orange and apricot on a golden yellow ground with 

 frequently touches of bronze on the reverse of the petals. The 

 sweet-scented flowers are very large, of perfect formation both 

 in the bud as well as in the fully developed flower and are pro- 

 duced very freely on vigorous upright growths. Gold Medal at 

 The Hague and Certificate of Merit with Congratulations of the 

 Jury of the Royal Dutch Horticultural Society. $1.50 each. 



Mrs. John Bell (John Bell, 1928). A Rose of exceptional merit, 

 of a most attractive vivid shade of cochineal carmine, with large 

 long pointed shapely buds and very large full double cupped 

 shapely fragrant flowers borne singly on good stems. Growth 

 moderate, bushy habit with disease resistant foliage and a pro- 

 fuse bloomer. A variety that is certain to become popular and 

 which will displace all others of a similar shade of color. Award- 

 ed Gold Medal of Scottish Rose Society. $1.50 each. 



Norman Lambert (McGredy & Son, 1928). A distinct color 

 combination that is novel. The outside of the petals is a deep 

 chrome yellow with a marginal color effect of brilliant orange 

 scarlet merging to an irregular zone of burnt orange, the inside 

 salmon-orange sufiused bronze, shading to yellow at the base. 

 The flowers are of medium size and form, delightfully fragrant 

 and free- flowering. $1.00 each. 



Swansdown (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). An ideal white 

 which in the autumn has just a tint of cream at the base of the 

 petals. The buds are large, very long pointed of perfect shape, 

 composed of large heavy petals and develop into splendid full 

 very sweetly-scented flowers of spiral formation. Its growth is 

 vigorous. In freedom of flowering Messrs. Dickson state that 

 they do not know any other Rose of its size that wiU produce 

 flowers in such profusion. $1.50 each. 



Margaret McGredy 



Charles P. Kilham (Beckwith & Sons, 1926). A brilliant, dis- 

 tinct and striking novelty. The buds are long pointed of perfect 

 shape, opening to high centered double flowers of rich and 

 brilliant Oriental red, flushed with orange and glowing scarlet. 

 A vigorous grower; very free flowering and sweetly tea-scented. 

 $1.50 each. 



Duchess of Athol (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring of this 

 new variety is uncommon and delightful, an old golden orange 

 flushed with peach pink, particularly attractive in the bud and 

 open state, growth vigorous, a continuous profuse bloomer. 

 $1.50 each. 



.E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many Roses 

 raised by Mr. Hill we consider this new red variety one of the 

 most valuable. While it has gained great popularity as a winter 

 cut flower, it appears equally good for garden purposes, the long 

 buds of perfect form, as well as the high centered full double 

 flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shading to a deeper pure red as 

 they develop; of strong vigorous and free flowering habit. 

 $1.50 each. 



Golden Dawn (P. Grant, 1929). A magnificent new Rose with 

 which we have been most favorably impressed, an ideal garden 

 Rose of an exquisite light lemon yellow color. Its buds are of an 

 ovoid form, heavily splashed with crimson before opening and 

 develop into splendidly shaped full double moderately fragrant 

 flowers. $1.50 each. 



Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). A novelty which on 

 account of its coloring and its perfectly formed large double 

 flower, will please every Rose lover. The ovoid buds when first 

 unfolding are cardinal-red with orange suffusion and develop 

 into very large, full double very perfect blooms that last in good 

 shape and which are of a pretty salmon-cerise color suffused 

 with a luminous golden sheen. The plant is a strong vigorous 

 upright grower and exceptionally free flowering. See illustration 

 back cover of this catalogue. $1.50 each.
