Hardy Climbing and Trailing Roses
Mrs. Lovett. — A double, bright pink, sweet- scented form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It retains all the excellent properties of its parent and in addition has double flowers- two to two and one-half inches in diameter- and are of the most cheerful, bright rosy-pink imaginable. In every other respect it is a true Wichuraiana.

Unique Roses of Special Merit.
Mrs. Lovett. A Double, Bright Pink, Sweet-scented form of Rosa Wichuriana.
There is nothing in the way of Roses which has appeared within the last fifty years at least, that has proved such an innovation or proved so valuable as the Japanese trailing Rose, Wichuriana; or what is now widely known as 'The Memorial Rose." Its trailing habit, the beauty of its massive, bright, glossy foliage, vigorous growth, great hardiness and the wonderful freedom with which its sweet-scented blossoms are produced, unite in rendering it of value difficult to over-estimate. In very truth, its many merits leave little to be desired in a trailing rose, beyond the fact that the roses themselves, borne by it, although produced in such multitudes as to literally envelop the plant, are small in size and white in color, resembling to a degree the blossom of the Blackberry. Hybridizers set about at once, upon the appearance of this remarkable Rose, to obtain improved varieties- those with larger and better fiowers. Thousands of seedlings have been produced during the past ten years, many of which are indeed acquisitions; notably those of Mr. W. A. Manda. All that have come to our notice, however, lack brightness in color or are deficient in size, form or fragrance of their flowers.
The Mrs. Lovett Rose was produced upon our own grounds and is one of the many seedlings of Wichuriana grown by us. Like many of our best flowers and fruits, it is a natural hybrid; the parent plant being situated contiguous to a number of our best hardy Roses. In every respect it is a true Wichuriana, save the flowers in habit of growth and foliage, hardiness and abundance of bloom it is identical with its parent; but its Roses are very double, two to two and a half inches in diameter and are of the liveliest and most cheerful bright, rosy-pink imaginable. Best of all, it is as fragrant as the American Beauty; although its fragrance is distinct from that of any other Rose. We confess our inability to command language that will at all convey a correct idea of its beauty or value. We fully believe that no pen or artist's brush can do it justice- it must be seen to be appreciated.
The above is the introducers' description of this most beautiful and unique Rose. There is little I can add and nothing I would take from what is said of it, as I know it fully merits every word of commendation that is given to it. I have a very large stock of superb plants (it is such a vigorous grower it always makes fine plants if given any kind of a chance) both in pots and field grown.
