GRAFTED ROSE PLANTS FOR 1938 
R. M. S. QUEEN MARY 
Henry A. Dreer, Inc. 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 249, June 8, 1937 
R. M. S. Queen Mary brings to the cut flower trade a much needed rose with a warmth 
of color such as we have in no other rose. It is a seedling rose of good size, not too large, 
with just enough petals for it to open perfectly. The color is a glorious combination of pure 
pink and rich glowing salmon, warmed by an amber glow arising from the orange base 
of the petals. It is a strong grower and is an unusually heavy producer for such an extra 
quality rose. Seventy per cent of our unpinched cut are roses of 18 inch length or more. 
From last Spring’s planting we have cut from each plant up until the time of going to 
press, December 15th, eleven flowers. R. M. S. Queen Mary possibly is not a rose for a re¬ 
tail grower nor one who is growing only a few thousand roses, but for the progressive 
grower of any quantity of roses this variety should be included in his 1938 planting program.

PEERLESS 
The Jos. H. Hill Co. 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 157, Dec. 3, 1935 
Peerless is a red sport of Better Times originating with the same company that dis¬ 
seminated that splendid variety. It has all the characteristics of both Better Times and 
Briarcliff except color, same foliage, same productiveness, and same culture. Peerless is a 
bright velvety scarlet carmine with long pointed buds. Due to its wonderful heritage the 
trade can now have a good keeping red rose that will hold its color. 
Better Times fulfilled the need for a cerise pink rose—now Peerless is the answer for a 
sturdy, beautiful, velvety red.
