When you upgrade to Jessie, it will install new kernel automatically. However, it should not remove your Wheezy kernel, because upgrading kernels always leaves one old one there, in case that you can not boot into your new kernel for some reason. You can then mark that kernel via grub options as one you would like to boot in. You can do it during boot in grub, or by setting it as default in /etc/default/grub. You will also have to use apt-mark to put that kernel on hold, to prevent removing it on future updates, or to do some apt pinning. But, since Wheezy will be out of support soon, doubt that you will be able to expect security updates for that kernel. It would be wise to check if newer kernel works for you, and if it does to move to it completely and forget about Wheezy kernel.
