MRS. LOVETT. 



A Double, Bright Pink, Sweet-scented 

 form of Rosa Vi/ichuriana. 



ximoiig the many seedlings that have been pro- 

 duced from the popular Japanese trailing Eose, 

 Wichuriana, there has been, none tliat can compare 

 with this, although many good ones have been 

 secured. The Mrs. Lovett Rose possesses to a high 

 degree those good qualities which the improved 

 Wichuiianas lack, viz., large size, good form, bright- 

 ness of color, etc. Like many of our best tlowers and 

 fruits, it is a natural hybrid ; the parent plant being 

 situated contiguous to a niimber of our best hardy 

 Hoses. In every respect it is a true Wichuriana 



save the llowers — 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 liveliest and most cheerful bright, rosv-junk 

 imaginable. Best of all, it is very fragrant, and its fragrance is distinct troni that ot 

 any other Rose. It is impossible to convey in words any accurate idea ot the great 

 beauty of this Rose when seen trailing over and covering the ground with its hand- 

 some dark green foliage, surmounted by masses of the loveliest soft pink roses. Its 

 vigor of growth is remarkable and is equaled only by its wonderful free-tiowering 

 propensity. Wherever a trailing plant can be employed, whether for cemetery use, 

 for embankments, or merely rock work, etc., the Mrs. Lovett Rose is the plant that 

 should be used, and it will surely give more satisfaction and delight than anything 

 else of the kind. A bank of this exquisite rose is a sight long to be remembered.

CRIMSON RAMBLER. 



The Wonderful Hardy Climbing Rose. Few Roses have ever become so 

 quickly and widely popular as has this, and it is due entirely to its own intrinsic 



merit. It produces snch a gorgeous display of color when in bloom, remains in perfection so long, and succeeds so 

 perfectly everywhere, and grows so vigorously, it has delighted everybody who grew or saw it in flower. It ia a 

 climbing Rose of strong vigorous habit and rapid growth, producing in marvelous profusion, large pyramidal 

 clusters of bright crimson, semi-double flowers of great substance, which remain a long time and retain their 

 brilliant color until they fall. Its free-flowering propensity is so great as to seem almost incredible. A single bush 

 has been known to have upon it, at one time, more than 5000 flowers and buds, and on one single shoot alone 

 have been counted more than 300 perfect blooms,/ It is entirely hardy without protection, and its abundant 

 dark green glossy foliage, which remains healthy and clean through the summer, renders it attractive at all times. 

 A splendid variety for covering walls, verandas, pillars, etc., being so vigorous in growth as to make shoots from 

 eight to ten feet, during the season ; or it may be pegged down or grown in bush form with rich and striking effect. 

 It is also very handsome and interesting as a pot plant. Its profusion of bloom is simply astonishing, producing a 

 perfect blaze of rich color and remaining in flower for nearlv or quite a month. Everyone should grow it.
