THE 
NEW RED 
MEMORIAL 
ROSE. 
(Rosa Wichuraiana rubra.) 
The great value of the ‘‘ Memorial Rose” has been fully demon- 
strated and more than justifies our confidence in its utility for the 
purposes we recommended it. Many seedlings have been raised 
from it, but none had the true creeping habit of the parent; they 
were all more orless semi-climbing. In this new variety, however, 
the habit and foliage of the white ‘‘Memorial Ruse” are reproduced, 
but the flowers are a brilliant carmine-red, They are as large 
as the white variety, of lustrous texture, deliciously fragrant. It 
makes a charming contrast with the white variety. It can be 
grown the same as it—in fact, is a perfect companion for it. This 
fine new variety will become equally popular with the white, and 
we confidently recommend it as a novelty of pronounced merit.

The accompanying {lIlustrations 
show some of the varied uses of 
The tbardy 
“Memortal” 
TROSC, a" 5; 
or use in Cemeteries.—it is difficult to conceive 
anything more appropriate, beautiful and enduring for cover- 
ing graves and plots in cemeteries than the Hardy Memorial 
Rose. It creeps along the ground almost as closely as an Ivy, 
growing ten feet in one season and forming a dense mat of very 
dark green, lustrous foliage. 
The Flowers are produced in lavish profusion, in clusters, 
on the ends of the short side branches, after the June Roses are 
past, from the first week in July throughout the month, and spar- 
ingly for the rest of the season. They are single, pure white, with 
a golden yellow dise, five to six inches in circumference, and have 
the strong fragrance of the Banksia Roses. The contrast between 
the satiny white of the petals and the golden yellow disc is sharp 
and pleasing, and is one of the distinctive charms of the beautiful 
Hardy Memorial Rose, and they fairly cover the entire plant 
when in bloom, a mass of great snowflakes with the rich, dark 
green showing here and there. 
But its use is not confined to Cemeteties.—Planted in the 
Rose garden, alone or among other Roses, and trained upright to 
a stake, it may be had from three to six feet high, as desired, 
and it will send sprays of flowers drooping downward, making the 
prettiest sight imaginable. Trained over a gateway it forms a 
perfect bower, or it can be trained to a fence or house with equal 
success. Asa pot plant it is unique and beautiful; in short, it is 
the most useful and unique of all Roses. It has been largely used 
throughout the famous park system of Boston for covering rocky 
slopes, embankments and such places as it was desirable to cover 
quickly with verdure. It quickly adapts itself to all conditions of 
growth, whether barren soil, rocky ledge, fertile garden, shady 
nook or sun-kissed slope, and no more fitting place can be found 
for it than running through the grass. 
Price, 1st size plants, 30c. each, 4 for $1.00, 9 for $2.00, 12 for 
$2.50; smaller plants, 15c. each, 4 for 50c., 9 for $1.00, 12 for $1.25;
