hardy. A trailing Rose that hugs the ground closely, 
making it ideal for covering embankments especially, as it 
soon makes roots along the branches. Popular for cemetery

yellow anthers in the center of the open bloom. The foliage 
is ample and rich green and the colored berries are attractive 
late in the fall and early winter.
