WICHURIANA ROSE AND HYBRIDS. 



(RAMBLING AND TRAILING.) 



"Wichuriana svn. Rosa Luciae. Memorial Rose. A distinct and valuable variety from Japan ; it is a 

 low trailing species, its stems creeping on the earth almost as closely as the Ivy. The flowers are 

 produced in the greatest profusion in clusters on the end of every branch, after the June roses are 

 past, from the first week in July throughout the month. They are pure white, i ^ to 2 inches across, 

 with yellow stamens, and have the strong fragrance of the Banksia rose. It is quite hardy, with the 

 exception of the latest immature growth, which may be cut back to some extent. This variety has 

 proved valuable as a covering for banks, rockeries, etc., and for use in cemeteries. 50c.
