Wichuriana. Memorial Rose. From Japan; it 
is a low trailing species, its stems creeping on 
the earth almost as closely as the Ivy. The 
flowers are produced in the greatest profu¬ 
sion in clusters on the end of every branch, 
after the June roses are past, from the first 
week in July throughout the month. They are 
pure white, Wy to 2 inches across, with yellow 
stamens, and having a strong fragrance. It is 
quite hardy, with the exception of the latest 
immature growth, which may be cut back to 
some extent. This variety has proved valuable 
as a covering for banks, rockeries, etc., and for 
use in cemeteries.

in large clusters, with orange red stamens. 
Beautiful and effective.

its hardiness, strong, rapid growth, healthy foli¬ 
age and wealth of beautiful flowers.
