"Wichuriana syn. 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, etcs., and for use in cemeteries.
