R., Max Graf. The very best Rose for clothing steep

Wichuraiana, it combines the best qualities of both. 
Nearly evergreen and a rapid grower. Foliage 
insect- and mildew-proof. Habit of growth pros¬ 
trate. Flowers are deep pink, resembling the wild 
Rose. The foliage being larger, it does not lie 
quite so close to the ground as Wichuraiana, and 
its foliage is more crinkled and attractive. Its 
rapid growth will permit of wide planting, 3 feet 
apart, at least.
