BEST AVAILABLE COPY v UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1,655" ROSE PLANT Eugene S. leaner, Newark, N. Y., assignor to Jackson. Jr Perkins Comm. Newark, N. Y..- a corporation of New York Application- May 29, 1950, Serial No. 164,897

The present inventionv relates to a; new and distinct variety of rose plant of the largeflowered. polyantha class. originated by crossing an unnamed andunpatentedwhite colored hybrid tea. variety with the variety Summer Snow y (Plant Patent No. 4161)., which latter parent is notableior its large white flowers borne in large clusters, and by its continuously recurrent bloom.- in' habit.

The general objective in making this cross was to obtain a white rose which. would be suitable for both greenhouse and outdoor use. This objective was satisfactorily attained.

This new variety is still" further distinguished from its parents, as well as from. other varieties, by the following dominant characteristics:

(1) The shape and color of the blooms, which are entirely different from any other variety now in commerce;

(2) The Forest Green shade of color or the w foliage which is an eiiective foil for the white blooms; and

(3) The long-lasting quality of the blooms, which makes this new variety very eflfective as an outdoor plant, as a pot plant, and also as a 2 greenhouse cut flower.
