A NEW RACE OF HARDY ROSES 



HYBRIDS OF ROSA WICHURIANA 



(OR THE HEHORIAL ROSE). 



'HEY are hybrids of Rosa Wichuriana — the Memorial Rose — and are of the same 

 rapid creeping habit of growth. They are vakiable for covering the ground, 

 stumps of trees, pillars, posts, trellises, rocky slopes, gravelly embankments, growing 

 where other Roses could not possibly live. They are absolutely hardy and will sur- 

 vive the severest Winters, growing outdoors in any climate, 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 

 ^^ J^p^ to include a collection in your order.
