Are or were their two roses named 'W. F. Dreer', one a hybrid tea with the same parentage as 'Los Angeles' and the other a rambler?

Both the Pernetiana and the Wichuraiana are referred to as William F. Dreer, but it seems that only the Wich. is referred to as 'W. F. Dreer'.
Do you have a reference calling the HT 'W. F. Dreer'? If so, we can add the reference and 'W. F. Dreer' as a synonym...

No. I became a bit confused by the two cultivars having the same name. Do we know who William F Dreer was?

Dreer's Nursery in Philadelphia was started by Henry Dreer, and continued by his son William F. Dreer.

I see the reference, and will note it in the comments for the Pernetiana. I see no reason not to add 'W. F. Dreer' as a synonym for both roses; it's confusing otherwise.
Thanks,

There is the 1924 Hazlewood Bros. reference.http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.3891.0&tab=32
wherein 'W. F. Dreer" is referred to as a "pink Los Angeles".

The comments were already there. I've added the synonym.

I put references in the wrong Dreer. I think we are all sorted and renamed clearly now.
Later edit. Almost! The 1922 Hazlewood reference needs to be deleted out of the wich climber file. I am unable to delete it.
