FBNRY A-DREER 
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 genera] 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 periect 
confidence any variety in our collection of Hybrid-Tea Roses. There is not one individual sort which we cannot endorse as possessing 
supecior merit, all having been thoroughly tested. 
Duchess of Wellington. One of the most popular yellow 
garden Roses. Intense saffron-yellow stained with deep crimson, 
changing to a deep coppery saffron-yellow 
as the flowers develop. The flowers are 
fairly full, with large petals, great sub- 
stance, delightfully fragrant and very 
free-flowering. i 
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. A 
Rose of exceptional merit. 
Its splendidly shaped 
long buds develop in- 
to large, sweet scented 
double flowers of crisp, 
glistening _ rose - pink 
with silvery suffusion at the 
base of the petals. Of strong, 
vigorous erect habit of 
growth, and very free flower- 
ing. 
Los Angeles. This is, by all 
odds, one of the finest Roses 
ever introduced. The growth 
is very vigorous, and _ pro- 
duces a continuous 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 Niel. 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. 
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. Wakefield Christie-Miller. As a pink bedding Rose 
there is none better. The flowers, which are of large size, 
remain perfect on the bushes for a long time, and are produced 
very freely; they are of a bright pink color with lighter shad- 
ings, the plant is vigorous and free. 
HYBRID-TEA Rose, Los ANGELES 
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- 
ae red. A wonderful color combination. f 
: Padre. One of the finest bedding 
: fa | Roses of recent introduction which 
: \ Mie | has quickly gained a prominent 
position as such. Its color 
is a brilliant coppery scar- 
let flushed with yellow at 
the base, a brilliant

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 flowering 
Hybrid-Tea varieties. 
Radiance. An ideal bed- 
ding Rose of American 
origin that continues to 
produce its large flowers 
throughout the most un- 
favorable hot summer 
weather when frequently 
many other varieties fail; 
in color a brilliant carmine- 
pink, with salmon-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 buds 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 
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, beautiful in both bud and fully developed 
bloom, of an intense Oriental red, shading to cochineal carmine 
at the margin of the petals, the whole being suffused with a 
golden sheen.
