The Dreer "Gold Medal Dozen" 



New Hardy Everblooming Hybrid-Tea Roses 



Hybrid-Tea Rose, Margaret McGredy 



Caledonia (Dobbie & Co., 1928). Large, very long pointed 

 conical buds with the edges of the outer petals gracefully rolled 

 back; flowers very large and full double, high centre, slightly 

 fragrant and borne singly on long strong stems. Color, when 

 first expanding, slightly lemon tinted, changing to a pure white 



• as the flowers develop. Habit very erect, of vigorous constitu- 

 tion, dark green disease-resistant foliage, and a continuous free 

 bloomer; a fine garden Rose. $1.50 each. 



Charles P. Kilham (Beckwith & Sons, 1926). A brilliant, dis- 

 tinct and striking variety. The buds are long pointed of perfect 

 shape, opening to high centered double flowers of rich and 

 brilliant Oriental red, flushed with orange and glowing scarlet. 

 A vigorous grower; very free flowering and sweetly tea-scented. 

 $1.00 each. 



Duchess of Atholl (Dobbie & Co., 1928). The coloring of this 

 new variety is uncommon and delightful,, an old golden orange 

 flushed with peach pink, particularly attractive in the bud as 

 well as open state, growth vigorous, a continuous profuse 

 bloomer. $1.50 each. 



E. G. Hill (E. G. Hill Co., 1929). Among the many Roses 

 raised by Mr. Hill we consider this new red variety one of the 

 most valuable. While it has gained great popularity as a winter 

 cut flower, it is equally good for garden purposes, the long 

 buds of perfect form, as well as the high centered full double 

 flowers are of a dazzling scarlet, shading to a deeper pure red as 

 they develop; of strong vigorous and free flowering habit. 

 $1.50 each. 



Impress (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1929). A novelty which on 

 account of its coloring and its perfectly formed large double 

 flower, will please every Rose lover. The ovoid buds when first 

 unfolding are cardinal-red with orange suffusion and develop 

 into very large, full double very perfect blooms that last in good 

 shape and are of a pretty salmon-cerise color suffused with a 

 luminous golden sheen. The plant is a strong vigorous upright 

 grower and exceptionally free flowering. $1.50 each. 



The wonderful advance made during recent 

 years in this popular type of Rose is well 

 exemplified in this collection of twelve varieties 

 of outstanding merit of recent introduction, 

 and we especially recommend this Gold Medal 

 Dozen as a desirable up-to-date addition to the 

 thousands of our patrons who now have the 

 Dreer Dozen growing in their gardens. 



Lucie Marie (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1930). 

 Very long pointed buds, deep yellow 

 splashed with red. As the outer petals 

 unfold, the inner face is yellow with cop- 



. pery venation with the tips of the petals 

 lightly tipped with pink, slightly fragrant. 

 It is of strong vigorous healthy habit of 

 growth with dark-leathery foliage. A most 

 distinct and interesting bedding variety. 

 | $1.50 each. 



Margaret McGredy (McGredy & Son, 

 1927). We consider this a masterpiece of 

 McGredy's. Large brilliantly-colored 

 double flowers of an entrancing shade of 

 rich Oriental red, passing to carmine-rose, 

 lasting a long time. The plant is of vigor- 

 ous bushy habit, very free flowering; light 

 spicy fragrance. $1.00 each. 



McGredy's Scarlet (McGredy & Son, 1930). 

 A new red Rose of marked superiority on 

 account of its strong vigorous growth free and 

 continuous habit of flowering and its brilliant 

 color. The flowers are of good size, full double of a brilliant 

 scarlet, orangy yellow at base of petals, the upper portions of 

 same being lightly touched with crimson, varying some in color 

 under changing weather conditions but always beautiful. 

 $1.50 each. 



Mevrouw G. A. Van Rossem (Van Rossem, 1926). A mar- 

 velously 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 formation both 

 in the bud as well as in the fully developed flower and are pro- 

 duced very freely on vigorous upright growths. $1.50 each. 



Mme. Nicolas Aussel (Pernet-Ducher, 1931). An outstanding 

 introduction of the late Mr. Pernet-Ducher. In color a bright 

 coppery red in the very long, shapely tapering bud that develops 

 into a large full double flower of an exquisite opalescent salmon 

 pink. Growth vigorous and healthy, free and continuous 

 bloomer. $1.50 each. 



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 

 fragrant flowers borne singly on good stems. Growth vigorous, 

 bushy habit with disease resistant foliage and a profuse bloomer. 

 A variety that is certain to become popular and which will dis- 

 place all others of a similar shade of color. $1.50 each. 



President Hoover (L. B. Coddington, 1930). A glorious Rose, 

 wonderfully free in the easy manner in - which it grows and 

 charming in its color arrangement which is a splendid com- 

 bination of cerise-pink, flame, scarlet and yellow; this combina- 

 tion of colors gives the most dazzling color effect imaginable. 

 The buds are beautifully pointed, the flowers large, composed of 

 broad thick heavy petals, with an exquisite fragrance. It is 

 exceptionally free flowering and everyone will be delighted with 

 its habit of growth. $1.50 each.
