Dorothy Perkins Roses on the house of the Superintendent of "Dreamwold," one of the most beautiful estates in 

 New England. Flowering canes, 15 to 20 feet long, are produced in a single season. Desirable places for growing 

 these HARDY CLIMBERS are: on porches, pergolas, arbors, arches, over fences, embankments, tree stumps, etc. 



Wichuraiana Rose for Embankments 



The Wichuraiana Rose differs from others in 

 habit of growth as the canes spread out horizontally 

 instead of growing upright. They grow 15 feet or 

 more in a season and if left alone, in cultivated 

 ground, they root wherever they touch and thus 

 form a dense mat. An invaluable Rose for growing 

 on embankments to prevent erosion. The single 

 white flowers, with golden centers, come in clusters 

 and are most attractive when they bloom — late in 

 June in this latitude. The flowers are followed by 



masses of brilliant red berries which remain until 

 well into winter. On account of its lovely, almost 

 evergreen, shiny foliage and strong habit of growth 

 the Wichuraiana has been used as a parent plant for 

 all the finest of the hardy climbing Roses. 



Use Wichuraiana to cover banks where grass will 

 not grow as this remarkable Rose will thrive even 

 in poor soil, but it is best to make holes about a foot 

 square and deep, and fill in with good soil. Allow 

 about 4 square feet of space for each Rose.
