LOUISVILLE, KY. 19 NEW HYBRID WICHURIANA ROSES OR THE DOUBLE MEMORIAL ROSE.
Text Appearing After Image:
It gives us pleasure to offer to the public the first Hybrids of these grand roses, which must be considered as one of the grandest novelties of late productions. The habit of these new roses is the same as the Rose "Wichu- riana, or Memorial Rose. The growth is creeping, and, therefore, can be used to cover ground, stems of trees, pillars, posts, trellises, or any other purpose desired, in- cluding pot culture. They are the hardiest rose we know of, and will stand any climate or exposure, and will thrive in the poorest soil or a gravel bank. The foliage is finely cut. thick, of a leathery substance, bright green, shining as if varnished, not subject to mildew or any in- sect, but keeps its full beauty until almost Christmas. The flowers are produced in the greatest profusion, so that a two or three-year-old plant will produce several thousand most exquisite flowers, which are deliciously frasrant and last a Ion? time in perfection. MANDA'S TRIUMPH. This grand rose is of free growth, luxuriant foliage, and produces large clusters of double pure white flowers, beautifully imbricated and well formed, two inches in diameter and sweetly scented. "UNIVERSAL FAVORITE. This is the most vigorous plant of the set. The long branching shoots are covered with dense, bright green foliage. The double flowers are over two inches in diameter, and of a beautiful rose color, similar to the Rridesmaid, and deliciously fragrant. A grand variety for anv purpose. SOUTH ORANGE PERFECTION. This is a gem, growing freely close to the ground and having multitudes of the most perfectly formed double flowers, about one and a half inches in diameter, soft blush pink at the tips, changing to white. It lasts a long time in perfection. PINK ROAMER. This is without question a Hybrid, be- tween the Sweetbrier, and carries these characteristics in bloom, while the growth, which is very rampant, and the luxurious foliage partake more of the "Wichuriana. The single flowers, which are produced in close heads, are nearly two inches in diameter, bright rich pink, with almost a white center, which lightens up the orange-red stamens, producing an effect which, combined with fra- grance, makes it one of the most valuable roses in culti- vation. Taking them together, the set of the four above varieties should be in every garden, and we are sure they will prove as valuable as the celebrated Crimson Rambler, as it is of the same vigorous growth. Any of the above four 10 cents each, 4 for 25 cents; large plants 15 cents each. ALL ROSES GROWN ON THEIR OWN ROOTS.
