There is another class of roses about which you should
know:
WICHURAIANA ROSES (EVERGREEN OR MEMORIAL ROSES)
These roses will live in our coldest climate.
The first were brought from Japan in 1892. The
Wichuraiana roses are highly valued where the winters
are severe or where the plant cannot receive special
care, as in a cemetery. (For this reason they have been
called “Memorial.”) Once planted, they seem to care for
themselves. They trail along the ground, or over rocks,
and often climb over any support.
Do not plant them in the rose garden where you need
space to grow bushes for blooms which are lovely for
cutting.
Wichuraiana roses bloom in June and July and sometimes
later. Insects do not trouble the beautiful shiny
foliage, which stays green nearly all winter.
The single roses, if not cut, become red berries in
the Autumn. “_Wichuraiana_” is the catalog name of the
single variety.
Blooms of the Wichuraiana roses are small compared
with the Hybrid Tea or Hybrid Perpetual, but some are
beautiful.
{ Gardenia.

The Best Wichuraiana { Sometimes called “Hardy Marechal Niel,” bears
Rose { lovely yellow buds which open into double
{ flowers of cream color, resembling a Cape
{ Jessamine.
Suppose you live at the seashore or in the mountains;
suppose you have very poor soil for roses; then you
will be glad to plant—
RUGOSA ROSES
Sometimes Rugosa Roses have been called, “Ironclad,”
because of their thick leathery foliage, which is
seldom, if ever, troubled with insects; and because of
their wonderful hardiness and ability to live under
trying conditions.
They bloom early, in large flowers, some of which
resemble large single wild roses; others resemble large
“double wild roses,” if you can imagine such roses.
Many make the Autumn gay with their brilliant red seed
berries.
Do not make the mistake of planting Rugosa among the
rose bushes you are growing for cut flowers.
