THE NEW RE© MEMORIAE ROSE, 



[Rosa IVichuraiana rubra ) 

 The great value of the "Memorial Rose" has been fully de- 

 monstrated 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 or less semi-climbing. In this new variety, 

 however, the habit and foliage of the white " Memorial Rose" are 

 reproduced, but the flowers are a brilliant carmine-red. 

 They are as large as the white variety, of lustrous texture, deli- 

 ciously 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. Price. 2 year plants $3.50 per doz. ; 

 plants from 3 inch pots $1.00 per doz., S8.00 per 100.

 in the fall as well as in the early summer. The flowers are very 

 large, reaching six iaches across under good culture; outer 

 petals partially reflexed and recurved, the centre petals upright 

 and very gracefully disposed, giving grace and finish without 

 showing the centre; they last a long time when cut. The fra- 

 grance is strong, delightfully rich and very lasting. 



Its Wealth of Color. — A pure red in its deepest tone, shading 

 to deep crimson-red and velvety maroon-red in the dephts of the 

 petals. The rich velvety finish is not even approached by any 

 other Rose yet introduced. It is admirable, unique, and, as Mr. 

 F. Schuyler Matthews, the celebrated artist, said, "This Rose 

 contains the darkest color, combined with pure color, 

 of which nature is capable." Price, plants from 3-inch pots 

 $8.00 per 100.
