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



Hybrids of Rosa Wichuriana 



(OR THE riEnORIAL ROSE). 



They are hybrids of Rosa Wichuriana — the Memorial Rose — and are of 

 the same rapid creeping habit of growth. They are valuable for covering the 

 ground, stumps of trees, pillars, posts, trellises, rocky slopes, gravelly embank- 

 ments, growing where other Roses could not possibly live. They are abso- 

 lutely hardy and will survive the severest Winters, growing outdoors in any cli- 

 mate, soil, exposure, remaining evergreen up 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.
