...A NEW RACE OF HARDY ROSES... 



Hybrids of Rosa Wichuriana 



^, (OR THE HEflORIAL ROSE). 



We now offer at popular prices these lovely new varieties, which comprise a dis- 

 tinct new class of Roses that will surely become highly popular because of their use- 

 , , fulness. They are hybrids of Rosa Wichuriana — the Memorial Rose — and are of the 

 , I same creeping habit of growth, which is exceedingly vigorous and rapid. They are 

 I valuable for covering the ground, stumps of trees, pillars, posts, trellises, rocky slopes, 

 lembankments, or any other purpose desired, including pot culture. They are abso- 

 ^lutely hardy and will survive the Winters, growing outdoors in any climate or expo- 

 sure. In the poorest soil they thrive admirably and have been known to make a 

 growth of 15 to 18 feet in one season, growing in a gravelly terrace where no other 

 -Rose could possibly live. The foliage is finely cut, thick and tough, is not subject to 

 any mildew or insects, but keeps its full beauty in cold climates until Christmas. The 

 , * flowers are borne in the utmost profusion, a two or three-year-old plant producing 

 % thousands of most exquisite blossoms, which are delightfully fragrant and which hold 

 ^ their form a long time after cutting. Be sure to include a collection in your order.

 flowers, two inches in diameter; on small side shoots literally covering the plant ; they are beauti- 

 fully imbricated, well formed and sweet scented.

Possesses unusual vigor of growth. The long, branching shoots are covered with dense bright green 

 foliage. The double flowers are over two inches across, and of beautiful rose color, similar to Brides-

 which it shows strongly in the exquisite fragrance of flowers. It is a rampant, luxurious grower, produc- 

 ing its single flowers in close heads ; the individual flowers measure two Indies in diameter. The color is 

 )right, rich pink, with the centre almost white, brightened with orange red, producing an effect which, in 

 connection with its fragrance, makes it one of the most valuable Roses in cultivation.
