Memorial Rose 



MEMORIAL or EVERGREEN ROSES 



The type of this group of Roses, Rosa Wichitraiatia, 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, any- 

 where 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. 



Evergreen Gem. Flowers buff, changing to creamy white, very double, 



foliage dense, of rich bronzy-green. 

 Gardenia. Buds bright yellow, opening double flowers of a cream color; 



incurving towards evening to the shape and color of a Cape Jessamine, hence 



its name. 



Wichuraiana. Beautiful fragrant single pure white flowers, with yellow 

 stamens followed in fall with bright red hips or berries. 



Strong two-year-old plants, 75 cts. each; $60.00 per 100.

LORD PENZANCE'S 

 HYBRID SWEET BRIER ROSES 



These lovely hybrids are crosses between the common Sweet 

 Brier and various other Roses, and like their parent, the foliage is 

 deliciously scented. The flowers are of the most beautiful tints, 

 and produced in great profusion, and the plants are perfectly 

 hardy, and possess a robust vigor which is quite astonishing. 



For best effect should be grown as pillar Roses; furnish them 

 with a stake or pole 5 to 6 feet high, tying the main shoots to this 

 and allowing the laterals to develop and ramble at pleasure. 

 Treated in this way and without pruning, beyond cutting out dead 

 and superfluous branches, they wiU produce an abundance of 

 lovely single or semi-double flowers with a beauty all their own. 



Amy Robsart. Splendid deep rose color. 



Anne of Gerstein. Dark crimson, of graceful habit. 



Brenda. Delicate blush, a dainty color the effect of the golden 

 anthers adds a peculiar charm. 



Bradwardine. Clear pink flowers of fine form; foliage par- 

 ticularly sweet. 



Lord Penzance. Soft shade of fawn or ecru, passing to a lovely 

 lemon-yellow in the centre, sometimes toned with a most delicate 

 pink; a good grower and abundant bloomer, very sweet-scented. 



Meg Merrilies. Gorgeous crimson, very free-flowering, wonder- 

 fully robust habit, large foliage; one of the best.
