Memorial, or Evergreen Roses 
The type of this group of Roses, Rosa Wichuraiana, is of 
Japanese origin, and flowers during June and July. This, as 
well as the varieties that have originated from it, are of a trailing 
habit of growth, very hardy, and are recommended for covering 
graves; hence one of its names—Memorial Rose—climbing over 
walls, arbors, stumps of trees, or for trailing over rocks or rough 
ground; in fact anywhere where a climbing or trailing Rose can 
be used. The foliage is of a leathery texture, of a beautiful shin- 
ing green, and not only proof against all insects, but is retained 
on the plants until late in the winter, making them almost ever- 
green. Pruning should be done in the same way as recom- 
mended for, the Hardy Climbing sorts. (See page 133.)
