'NEW AND VALUABLE ROSES. 



A Double, Bright Pink, Sweet-scented form of 



There is nothing in the way of Roses which has ap- 

 peared within the last fifty years at least that has prov- 

 ed such an innovation or proved so valuable as the Jap- 

 onese trailing Rose. TTichuriana: or what is now wide- 

 ly known as il The Memorial Rose." Its trailing habit, 

 the beauty of its massive, bright, glossy foliage, vigor- 

 ous growth, great hardiness 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 rose, be3 T ond the fact that the roses them- 

 selves, borne by it, although produced in such multi- 

 tudes as to literally envelop the plant, are small in size 

 and white iu color, resembling to a degree the blossom 

 of the Blackberry. Hybridizers set about at once, up- 

 on the appearance of this remarkable Rose, to obtain 

 improved varieties— those with larger and better flow- 

 ers. Thousands of seedlings have been produced dur- 

 ing the past ten years, many of which are indeed ac- 

 quisitions; notably those of "Mr. AY. A. Manda. All 

 that have come to our notice, however, lack brightness 

 in color or are deficient in size, form or fragrance of 

 their flowers. 



The Mrs. Lovett Rose was produced upon our own 

 grounds and is one of the many seedlings of Wichuriana 

 grown by us. Like many of our best flowers and fruits, 

 it is a natural hybrid; the parent plant being situated 

 contiguous to a number of our best hardy Roses. In 

 every respect it is a true AYk-huriaua, save the flowers 

 —in habit of growth and foliage, hardiness and abund- 

 ance 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 liveliest and most cheerful 

 bright, rosy-pink imaginable. Best of all, it is as fra- 

 grant as the American Beauty; although its fragrance 

 is distinct from that of any other Rose.
