ROSE PLANT Robert V. Lindquist, Hemet, Calif., assignor to .Hemet Wholesale, Hemet, Califi, a partnership Application December 4, 1952, Serial No. 324,155

' The-present invention relates to a new and distinct varietyof rose plant'ofthe hybrid tea class, which was originated by me by crossing the variety Charlotte Armstrong (Plant Patent No. 455) with the variety Girona (unpatented).

As the result of this breeding, I have produced a new variety of rose that is particularly characterized as to novelty by its vigorous habit of uprightgrowth; by the distinctive form and color of its buds and fiowersin all stages of development; by its habit of bearing flowers singly on exceptionally long, upright, strong and stiff stems; by .its distinctively longer and heavier peduncle as compared with other roses of the same. class; by the relatively heavy texture of its flowerpetals, with resultant long-lasting quality of the blooms andtheir tendency to maintain and preserve their shape until the petals drop; and by the penetrating tea rose fragrance of its flowers.

This combination of characteristics is unique intheclass of hybrid tea roses, and definitely distinguishes my new variety from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware.

.Asexual reproduction of my new variety by budding at Hemet, California, shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.

The accompanying drawings show typical specimens .of my new variety, one of said drawings depicting the color characteristics of the flowers and foliage in different stages of development, and the other drawing showing a mature plant and depicting its habits of growth, in black-and-white.

The following is a detailed description of my new variety, with color terminology in accordahce with Robert F. Wilsons Horticultural Colour Chart (hereinafter abbreviated as Wilson) and Ridgways Color Standards and Nomenclature (hereinafter abbreviated as Ridgway) as indicated:

I claim:

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by its vigorous habit of upright growth, by the distinctive form and color of its buds and flowers in all stages of development, by its habit of bearing flowers singly on exceptionally long, upright, strong and stiff stems, by its distinctively longer and heavier peduncle as compared with other roses of the same class, by the relatively heavy texture of its flower petals, with resultant long-lasting quality of the blooms and their tendency to maintain and preserve their shape until the petals drop, and by the penetrating tea rose fragrance of its flowers.
