A NEW RACE OF HARDY ROSES... 



Hybrids of Hosa UliehiiFiana 



(OH THE MEMORIAL* ROSE.) 



|E now offer at popular prices these lovely new varieties, which comprise a 

 distinct new class of Roses that will surely become highly popular because 

 of their usefulness. They are hybrids of Rosa Wichuriana — the Memorial 

 Rose — and are of the same creeping habit of growth, which is exceedingly 

 vigorous and rapid. They are valuable for covering the ground, stumps of trees, pillars, 

 posts, trellis, rocky slopes, embankments, or any other purpose desired, including pot 

 culture. They are absolutely hardy and will survive the Winters, growing outdoors in 

 any climate or exposure. In the poorest soil they thrive admirably and have been 

 known to make a growth of 15 to 1 8 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. 



This is a gem. Produces large clusters (twelve to 

 eighteen blooms) of double pure white flowers, two inches 

 in diameter ; on small side shoots literally covering the 

 plant ; they are beautifully imbricated, well formed and 

 sweet scented.

 PERFECTION j» j» 



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 Bridesmaid, and 

 deliciously fragrant. 



A distinct and wonderfully beautiful variety. Pro- 

 duces multitudes of the most perfectly formed double 

 flowers, about one and one-half inches in diameter; soft, 

 blush pink at the tips, changing to white. Exceedingly 

 choice. 



PINK ROAMER > 



This is beyond question a cross between that fine old 

 favorite, Sweetbriar, and Wichuriana, which it shows 

 strongly in the exquisite fragrance of flowers. It is a 

 rampant, luxurious grower, producing its single flowers 

 in close heads ; the individual flowers measure two inches 

 in diameter. The color is bright, rich pink, with the 

 centre almost white, brightened with orange red, pio- 

 ducing an effect which, in connection with its fragrance, 

 makes it one of the most valuable Roses in cultivation.

 set of four varieties for 75 cts., postpaid by Mail. Two-year-old plants,
