Rosa "Wichuriana. 
(The Memorial Rose.) 
This wonderful New Rose creeps along the ground almost as closely as an ivy, growing lo feet in 
one season and form- 
ing a dense mat of 
very dark green, lus- 
trous foliage, with 
thornless stems. The 
flowers are produced 
in lavish profusion, 
in clusters, on the 
ends of the short 
side branches ; they 
are single, pure 
white, with a golden 
yellow disc, 5 to 6 
inches in circumfer- 
ence, and have the 
strong fragrance of 
the Banksia tribe of 
roses. The contrast 
between the satiny 
white of the petals 
and the golden yel- 
low disc is sharp and 
pleasing, and one cf 
the distinctive 
charms of this rose. 
As will be seen 
from the accompany- 
ing picture, this rose 
is admirably suited 
for climbing arches 
and porches ; it will 
send out sprays of 
flowers drooping 
downward, making 
the prettiest sight 
imaginable. It has 
been largely used in 
the eastern parks 
for covering rocky 
slopes, embauk- 
ments, and such 
places as need to be 
covered quickly with 
verdure. A notable 
and very successful 
use of Wichuriana 
has been thus made 
on the great Vander- 
bilt estate at Bilt-
