THE "DREER DOZEN" 
Hardy Ever blooming 
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. Long shapely buds, with petals 
of great substance, color an intense saffron-yellow stained 
deep crimson, delightfully fragrant and very free flowering. 
Hadley. One of the best high colored varieties, an intense, 
rich, dazzling, crimson-scarlet shading to velvety crimson, 
deliciously fragrant. The plant is of vigorous growth, and 
is particularly fine in the autumn. 
Imperial Potentate. The beautifully-shaped long buds de- 
velop into large double sweet-scented flowers of glistening rose- 
pink with silvery suffusion at base of petals. Growth vigorous,- 
upright and very free flowering. 
Los Angeles. One of the most beautiful Roses yet introduced. 
The long-stemmed flowers are of a luminous flame-pink, toned 
with coral, and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the 
petals. The buds are long and pointed and expand to flowers 
of large proportion, of absolutely perfect form and of rich 
fragrance. 
Mme. Edouard Herriot (The Daily Mail Rose). In color its 
buds are coral-red, shaded with yellow at the base, the open 
flowers of medium size, semi-double, are of a superb coral-red, 
shaded with yellow and bright rosy-scarlet passing to shrimp- 
red. A wonderful color combination. 
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 grower 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 in- 
terior 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 exceptionally free and continuous bloomer. 
PRICE. Any of the above in strong two-year-old 
One each of the "Dreer Dozen, 
Hybrid-Tea Rose, Souv. de Georges Pernet 
Padre. Long buds of rich brilliant coppery-scarlet, flushed with 
golden yellow at base; while the fully developed flowers are 
only semi-double, they are of unusual formation and attractive 
in all stages of development. A splendid free-flowering bedding 
rose that is admired by everyone. 
Radiance. An ideal bedding Rose of American origin that 
continues to produce its large fragrant flowers throughout the 
most unfavorable hot summer weather when frequently many 
other varieties fail; in color a brilliant carmine-pink, with 
salmonf-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. 
Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. A most vigorous grower of 
erect branching habit, beautiful, brilliant green foliage, long 
pointed bud's 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, without any color blending, and which is retained with- 
out fading even in the warmest weather. 
Souvenir de Georges Pernet. Unequaled in color by any 
other variety; its long pointed buds of rich oriental-red tipped 
with carmine and suffused with a rich golden sheen expand to 
full double flowers of elegant form. Strong vigorous growing 
and profuse in flowering.
