The \\'ichuraianas are ideal cover-roses. They are remark- 

 ably free from both insects and disease, with foKage clean, 

 bright, and shiny nearly the entire year. 



The single-flowered sorts bear bright berries which the birds

 bankments in place. They also add to the roadside beauty; one 

 plant will easily cover 6 square feet of ground.
