1 Claim.

The present invention relates to an improved Bud:

rose plant having as its objective a blending including the two strains of Rosa ioetida by means of which to impart to the progeny the ruggedness and hardiness of that species and at the same time to combine the colors to produce a rose of novel coloring.

In the successful attainment of this objective I have found. that this new variety has inherited in equal proportions all'the desirable features of the ancestors, producing a great improvement over the existing run of garden roses.

The color of the bloom of this origination is a new departure not previously known in the class generally described as Hybrid Teas.

Extensive tests have demonstrated that this new rose responds well to forcing treatment par- Size.-Large. Fo rm.Urn.' Not affected by wet weather.

One of the important features of the present Bloom:- 20

invention resides in the fact that the flowers come in rapid succession and in great quantity throughout the vegetative season, adding materially to its value as a garden rose as well as a commercial cut-flower variety.

A further important feature is found in the foliage of the plant which is exceptionally strong and healthy and may be considered as approaching immunity from the ordinary ills to which the average Hybrid Tea is subject under average garden conditions.

The following is a description of the plant from which two important features of distinctness may be said to stand out, to wit: the newness of the color of the blossom and the great hardiness and disease resistance characteristics of the plant as a perpetual flowering garden rose.

The color standard used herein is the Gravereaux system, except where indicated by asterisk which refers to the standard dictionary definition.
