DREER'S SELECT LIST OF ROSES. 



->^^^^New Ever=bloominq Roses^^^^^^^^ 



New Hybrid Tea Rose. Souvenir du President Carnot. 



Shown in colors on the front cover of this Catalogue. 



The grandest Rose introduced in many years, and a valuable acquisition, both as a Rose for forcing and for garden culture. 

 It is of exceptional strong, free growth, with handsome, large, heavy foilage. The flowers, which are of large size and exquisite 

 fragrance, are produced in marvelous abundance ; each shoot terminating with one or more buds, on long, strong stems ; in color 

 it is similar to that well-known favorite Souv. de la Malmaison, a rosy flesh shading to white at the edges of the petals. We feel 

 positive that it will be one of the standard Roses of the future; and realizing its great value when introduced last year, we pre- 

 (lared a large stock, which enables us to offer it at popular prices, viz.:

Mosella, or Yellow Clotliilde Soupert. 



While not by any means a yellow rose, the general 

 effect of the blending of the colors in this is such 

 as to make it appear as a yellow rose at a short 

 distance. It is probably the finest Polyantha 

 Rose yet introduced, and is a fitting com- 

 panion to that very popular and useful 

 variety, Clothilde Soupert, but to which 

 it is much superior in the shape of 

 the buds and profusion of bloom. 

 The habit of the trrowth is the 



strong grower with large flowers of a creamy white, reverse of 

 petals flesh color. Good young plants, 25 cts. each. 

 General Billat (Tea). A good large flower, the outside 

 being a pale amaranth-violet, with carmine purple reflections 

 towards the centre. Good young plants, 25 cts. each. 



Mrs. Robert Garrett (Hybrid Tea). A variety of 

 American origin, with extra large, almost entirely double 

 flowers and long beautifully shaped buds; in color it is a soft 

 rich pink which illuminates grandly under artificial light, and 

 of exquisite fragrance; it is a remarkably healthy, vigorous 

 grower, throwing up great numbers of strong shoots from the 

 base of the plant; wonderfully free-flowering, producing no 

 blind wood, every shoot being crowned with a bud. Good 

 young plants, 60 cts. each, $6.00 per dozen.
