 THE "DREER DOZEN" 



HARDY EVERBLOOMING 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 con- 

 fidence 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.

fragrant and very free-

Hadley. One of the best high 

 colored varieties, an intense, 

 rich, dazzling, crimson-scar- 

 let shading to velvety crim- 

 son, deliciously fragrant. The 

 plant is of vigorous growth, 

 and is particularly fine in the 

 Autumn. 



Imperial Potentate. Intro- 

 duced only four years ago, 

 this beautiful vari- 

 ety has already found 

 a place among the 

 most popular garden 

 sorts. Its splendidly 

 shaped buds develop into 

 large, sweet scented double 

 flowers of crisp, glistening 

 rose-pink with silvery suf- 

 fusion at the base of the 

 petals. Of strong, vigorous, 

 erect habit of growth, and 

 very free flowering. 



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 with- 

 out 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. 



Los Angeles. This is, by all odds, one of the finest Roses ever 

 introduced. The growth is very vigorous, and produces a con- 

 tinuous succession of long-stemmed flowers of a luminous 

 flame-pink, toned with coral and shaded with translucent 

 gold at the base of the petals. In richness of fragrance it 

 equals in intensity the finest Marechal Neil. The buds are 

 long and pointed, and expand into a flower of mammoth 

 proportions, while the beauty of form and ever-increasing 

 wealth of color is maintained from the incipient bud until the 

 last petal drops. 



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 interior 

 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 excep- 

 tionally free and continuous bloomer.

A wonderful color com- 



Padre. One of the finest bedding 

 Roses of recent introduction which 

 has quickly gained a prominent 

 position as such. Its color 

 is a brilliant coppery scar- 

 let flushed with yellow at 

 the base, a brilliant 

 i color combination 



that appeals to 

 everyone. The 

 beautiful long buds 

 are borne on very long stiff 

 stems and are splendid for 

 cutting and while the fully, 

 developed flowers are only 

 semi-double they are of 

 unusual formation and 

 attractive in all stages. 

 One of the freest flower- 

 ing Hybrid-Tea varieties.

 many other varieties fail; 

 carmine-pink, with salmon-pink and 



in color a brilliant 



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 buds of exquisite shape, carried on long, stiff stems. 

 Very large, full flowers with elongated deep petals, a beauti- 

 fully formed bloom. Color, striking sunflower-yellow, deeper 

 in the centre, without any color blending, and which is retained 

 without fading even in the warmest weather. 



Souvenir de Georges Pernet. This stands at the head of the 

 list of the many valuable garden Roses that have been produced 

 by Mr. Pernet-Ducher. It is a strong, vigorous grower and pro- 

 duces its large flowers which are beautiful in both bud and fully 

 developed bloom, which are of an intense oriental red, shading 

 to cochineal carmine at the margin of the petals, the whole being 



suffused with a golden sheen.
