A Double, Bright Pink, Sweet- scented 

 form of Rosa Wiehuriana. 



There is nothing" in the way of Roses which has appeared 

 within the last fifty years at least, that has proved such an 

 innovation or proved so valuable as the Japanese Trailing 

 Rose, Wiehuriana; or what is now widely known as 4i The 

 Memorial Rose." Its trailing - habit, the beauty of its 

 massive, bright, glossy foliage, vigorous growth, gTeat hardi- 

 ness and the wonderful freedom with which its sweet-scented 

 blossoms are produced, unite in rendering it of value difficult 

 to over-estimate. In very truth, its many merits leave little 

 to be desired in a trailing 1 rose, beyond the fact that the roses 

 themselves, borne by it, al thou r rh"ppKluced in such multitudes 

 as to literally envelop the plant, are small in size and white 

 in color, resembling to a degree the blossom of the Blackberry. 

 Hybridizers set about at once, upon the appearance of this 

 remarkable Rose, to obtain improved varieties — those with 

 larger and better flowers. Thousands of seedlings have been 

 produced during the past ten years, many of which are 

 indeed acquisitions: notably those of Mr. W. "A. Manda. All 

 that have come to our notice, however, lack brightness of color 

 or are deficient in size, form or fra<rrance of their flowers. 



The Mrs. Lovett Rose was produced upon my own grounds 

 and is one of the many seedlings of Wiehuriana grown by me. 

 Like many of our best flowers and fruits, it is a natural 

 hybrid ; the parent plant beng - situated contiguous to a num- 

 ber of our best hard}' Roses. In every respect it is a true 

 Wiehuriana, save the flowers — in habit of growth and foliage, 

 hardiness and abundance of bloom it is identical with its 

 parent ; but its Roses are very double, two to two and a half 

 inches in diameter and are of the livliest and most cheerful, 

 bright, ros}--pink imaginable. Best of all, it is as fragrant as 

 the American Beauty ; although its fragrance is distinct from 

 that of any other Rose. It is unsurpassed for covering - banks 

 and terraces and is a beautiful and appropriate cemeter}- 

 Rose — by far surpassing the Memorial Rose in every way. 

 Its mass of glossy rich green foliage renders it most attractive 

 at all times ; is seldom without bloom from June to October, 

 and is almost evergreen. The illustration gives the size and 

 form of the flower correctly but does not do it justice in depict- 

 ing its habit — in fact no pen or artist's brush can give a cor- 

 rect idea of its beauty.
