New Evergreen Roses. 



The following ate seedlings or hybrids of Wichuraiana (The 

 Memorial Rose) aid the Polyantha section. They are of rapid, 

 elegant growth, perfectly hardy, and can be recommended for 

 climbing over walls, arbors, stumps and stems of trees or for trail- 

 ing over rocks or rough ground ; in fact, anywhere where a 

 climbing 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 almost the entire winter, making 

 them practically evergreens.
