MEMORIAI^ or K\ BRGREE^N ROSHS 



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 recom- 

 mended 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 shining green, and not only proof against 

 all insects, but is retained on the plants until late in the winter, making them 

 almost evergreen. Pruning should be done in the same way as recommended 

 for the Hardy Climbing sorts. (See page 136.)
