Duckham’s Glorious Roses 
E VERY year the list of new Roses grows larger and more confusing. Superb new varieties come into being and 
are jostled aside by dozens of other contestants for favor. But as the seasons pass, certain varieties take firm 
hold and stand out like rocks above a stream. To these established varieties, firmly fixed in public favor, the 
gardener must turn if he is to save himself from complete confusion. Realizing this, we have selected 12 outstanding 
Roses which are so good that the flood of new varieties has been unable to dislodge them from favor. We have made 
special arrangements to have these 12 selected Roses propagated in quantity, so that we can offer them to our customers 
at a reduced price for the whole collection. The beginning Rose-grower could not do better than to plant these as his 
first dozen, and those who wish an abundant all-season display would be wise to plant a half-dozen or so of these col¬ 
lections, thus insuring a steady supply of the most beautiful and perfect blooms. 
BETTY UPRICHARD. A strong-growing, upstanding plant 
with brilliant coppery pink buds, opening to large, semi¬ 
double, salmon-pink flowers richly stained with fiery carmine 
on the back of the petals. 
DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. A fine old-timer with broad, 
branching stems and huge coppery yellow buds, opening to 
pale saffron-yellow flowers. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. The finest everblooming red Hybrid 
Tea Rose. Flowers vivid and fragrant. Bush strong. 
JOANNA HILL. A new, long-stemmed, daintily shaped flower 
of golden yellow, shaded with apricot. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIKTORIA. Most beautiful of white 
Roses. Plants moderately vigorous. Flowers very double, 
deliciously scented, pure white, tinged with yellow in the center. 
LADY ALICE STANLEY. An old favorite with large, shining 
pink, very double, richly fragrant flowers of handsome form. 
The bushes are sturdy and free blooming. 
MRS. HENRY BOWLES. Stout, sturdy plants of erect habit, 
with large, fat buds of rich crimson, opening to deep glowing 
pink blooms of faultless form and exquisite perfume. 
MRS. ERSKINE PEMBROKE THOM. Throughout the 
United States this is generally considered the best of all yellow 
garden Roses. Plants are thrifty, erect in habit, and produce 
in unbroken succession handsome golden yellow buds which 
open cleanly into well-shaped, clear yellow flowers that are 
fragrant and long lasting. 
RADIANCE. Recognized throughout the whole United States 
as the easiest-growing, freest-blooming, bright pink Rose in 
existence. 
RED RADIANCE. The perfect duplicate of Radiance except 
that the flowers are light cherry-red.

foliage and long, tapering buds of golden yellow, marked with 
copper and russet-brown. The open flowers are glowing 
yellow, sweetly scented, and exquisitely formed.

vigor in the garden, producing a steady succession of very 
brightly colored flowers throughout the season. Blooms vary

pink and cream and buff and orange to dazzling scarlet and 
yellow, according to the weather and season.

AMELIA EARHART (President Charles Hain). HT. Plant Patent 
No. 63. A stunning new Rose from Belgium with immense, golden 
yellow buds and huge, exquisitely formed flowers, fragrant and 
full, of symmetrically arranged, delicately curled petals. Plants 
are thrifty and bloom with unusual freedom for so large a flower 
throughout the entire season. $2 each. 
BETTY. HT. I think this Rose has the loveliest buds of any variety 
1 have ever seen. They are long, tapering, with exquisitely curled 
petals, tinted with soft shades of pinkish buff and copper. The 
open flower is very large and fluffy, almost creamy white, with a 
sheen of pale gold. 
BETTY UPRICHARD. HT. A pretty combination of colors— 
inner face of petals delicate salmon-pink, outside glowing carmine, 
with coppery sheen and orange suffusion; well-formed, medium¬ 
sized flowers of good substance and sweet scented. 
BRIARCLIFF. HT. Splendid, rich rose-pink without shading; fine 
long-pointed bud, opening to a beautifully modeled, shell-like 
flower. Vigorous and prolific. 
COMTESSE VANDAL. HT. Plant Patent No. 38. This sensational 
Rose has created a great deal of excitement in the gardens of the 
country. Its exquisitely formed, long, bronze buds open to soft, 
silvery pink flowers, richly shaded with coral, salmon, and golden 
yellow tones. The plants are erect and vigorous, the stems long 
and strong. $1.50 each. 
DAME EDITH HELEN. HT. Perfect buds developing into wonder¬ 
ful flowers of immense size, produced singly throughout the season. 
The flowers are a brilliant yet soft pink, strongly sweet-scented, 
composed of very substantial broad petals which curl back prettily. 
DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. HT. For a long time I regarded 
this as the best yellow Rose in the world, and the old Duchess still 
has prettier buds and larger flowers than many newer varieties. 
It grows well, too, after it is once established. 
EDEL. HT. Very large, well-built, stately blooms of pure ivory- 
white color and lovely globular form; fragrance slight. Plant very 
vigorous, bearing its bold blooms on erect stems. A superb sort 
which is making itself necessary in all collections. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. HT. Brilliant red blooms of magnificent 
size, perfect in half-open state, showing clean, attractive centers 
when fully open; petals enormous; very fragrant. Plants branch¬ 
ing, particularly free flowering and healthy. 
KAISERIN AUGUSTE VIKTORIA. HT. Well-formed, creamy 
buds which develop slowly to blooms of absolutely perfect form, 
snowy white with a slight tint of lemon at center; fragrant. Plant 
moderately vigorous, free blooming, and hardy. A standard old 
variety, indispensable among white garden Roses. 
LADY ALICE STANLEY. HT. Massive buds and fully double, 
very sweet blooms; outside of petals coral-rose, inside pale flesh- 
pink. A strong, free-blooming plant. One of the very best and most 
dependable Roses for both bedding and cutting. 
LADY ASHTOWN. HT. Not just another pink Rose, but decidedly 
a pink Rose with a great deal of character. The petals are defi¬ 
nitely reflexed ano pointed and the center rises in the way of the 
best exhibition bloom. 
LOS ANGELES. HT. Color, form, and fragrance are the notable 
virtues of this Rose. It has a flaming golden pink tint, and an 
exquisite shape and perfume that are difficult to match
