HENRY A. DREER Roses 
WHOLESALE LIST 35 
- This Year’s New Hybrid-Tea Roses—continued 
Introductions of the Rose World’s Most Noted Specialists 
MeGredy’s Scarlet (McGredy, 1930). Messrs. McGredy 
say of this Rose ‘‘We have never seen anything ap- 
proaching this Rose in color, a rich brilliant scar- 
let, so velvety that one can almost see the pile. The 
base is orange, and the upper portions of the petals 
are lightly washed deep crimson which enhances the 
whole flower. The habit of growth is free, vigorous 
and upright with large dark green mildew-proof 
foliage. The stems are strong carrying the flowers 
erect, free and continuous flowering.” A _ brilliant 
Rose for the Garden and for cutting. Awarded 
First Class Certificate National Rose Society of 
England. $75.00 per 100. 
Mevrouw, G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A 
marvelously 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 forma- 
tion both in the bud as well as in the fully devel- 
oped flower and are produced 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. 
$75.00 per 100. 
Miss Rowena Thom (Howard & Smith, 1928). In 
vigorous habit of growth, freedom of bloom and 
in its adaptability to varied climatic conditions, this 
will prove equal to the popular Radiance Roses, 
while its flowers in size and form are equal to the 
best high-class varieties of recent introduction and 
all of which it will outclass in freedom of flowering. 
Its buds are long and shapely, opening to perfect 
double flowers frequently 5 inches across of a bril- 
liant rose-pink, the base of the petals having a 
golden suffusion which as the fragrant flowers un- 
fold, adds to the brilliancy of its coloring. $50.00 
per 100. 
Mme. Henri Queuille (Pernet-Ducher, 1929). This 
splendid Rose in the formation of its large, full flow- 
ers, strong, vigorous, healthy growth and freedom 
of flowering reminds one of the same raiser’s popu- 
lar bedding variety, Souvenir de Georges Pernet, 
excepting in color which is much lighter, being a 
retty shrimp or coral pink on an orange-copper 
ase. $50.00 per 100. 
Monarch (Dobbie, 1926). Very large long pointed bud 
developing into large double high centered flowers, 
very lasting, of a rich silvery pink color, borne 
singly on long stout stems. A strong vigorous 
grower and an abundant continuous bloomer; very 
hardy. $75.00 per 100.

Miss Rowena Thom 
New Hybrid-Tea Rose, 
A valuable bedding 
variety. 
New Hybrid-Tea Rose, Lucie Marie 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom (Howard & Smith, 
1926). We are convinced that this is the best yel- 
low bedding Rose we have to-day. It is of clean 
healthy vigorous growth with abundant dark bronzy 
disease-resisting foliage and a continuous free 
bloomer throughout the season. The medium sized 
buds are long and shapely and develop into good 
sized full double flowers of a rich deep lemon yel- 
low, sweetly scented. $40.00 per 100. 
Mrs. Herbert Dowsett (EHaslea, 1928). Orig- 
inated as a sport from Los Angeles, large 
\ ovoid bud, large full double very lasting, 
4 well shaped, moderately fragrant flower. 
‘4 In color it is several shades deeper than 
its popular parent. Growth vigorous, 
bushy habit and a continuous bloomer. 
$125.00 per 100. 
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 moder- 
ate, bushy habit with disease resistant foliage 
and a profuse bloomer. A variety that is certain 
to become popular and which will displace all 
others of a similar shade of color. Awarded Gold 
Medal of Scottish Rose Society. $75.00 per 100. 
Night (McGredy & Son, 1930). Unquestionably the 
darkest crimson Rose so far raised. We quote 
trom the English National Rose Society’s Annual 
“An extraordinary Rose most certainly the near- 
est approach to a black Rose we have. Its color 
is perhaps best described as a black shaded ma- 
roon. It quite eclipses the old Hybrid Perpetual 
Prince Camille de Rohan, hitherto our darkest 
Rose.” Messrs. MeGredy describe it as a blackish 
crimson. The flowers are of medium size, full 
and of perfect form and sweetly scented and 
freely and continuously produced. $125.00 per 100.
