Hardy Memorial, or Wichuraiana Roses 



WILL BLOOM LUXURL\NTLY IN OUR COLDEST CLIMATE 



They will climb when trained, or if left alone they creep along the ground as 

 closely as an ivy and make a dense mat of shiny dark green foliage. The leaves 

 are of leathery texture, practically insect proof, and remain green on the plants 

 nearly all winter. They bloom in profusion during June and July, and the single 

 ones bear red berries in the autumn. Entirely hardy, and when once planted 

 take care of themselves. They are excellent for training over graves (hence called 

 Memorial Roses) or o\er rough ground, rocks, stumps or banks.

 large, double, pure white flowers and bright shining evergreen
