Description

ROSE PLANT Filed Jan. 18, 1955 WITNESS \NVENTOR.

United States Patent 1,451 ROSE PLANT Ralph S. Moore, Visalia, Calif.
Application January 18, 1955, Serial No. 482,689 1 Claim. (Cl. 47--61) This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant which is a miniature, ever-blooming climber; this characteristic being a major feature of novelty.
The present variety of rose plant has growth and blooming habits generally similar to the climbing hybrid tea rose High Noon," but is distinctive in that here the variety is a miniature climbing rose and bears pink instead of yellow flowers.
Other important characteristics of the instant variety of rose plant are substantially perfectly shaped buds; long lasting buds and flowers, both on the plant and when cut for ornamental display; color stability; and ease of propagation, both by budding and cuttings.
Further, the present variety is characterized by a healthy and vigorous plant, and by the habit of beginning to bloom when the plant is only six to eight inches high.
This variety of rose plant was originated by me in my nursery in Visalia, Tulare County, California, as a seedling resulting from a cross between a seed parent, Sister Therese X Wilhelm, and a pollen parent, Caroline Dean Tom Thumb.
The variety-after its origination, and when grown to maturity-was recognized as being very advantageously distinct in that it was not only an ever-blooming miniature, but a climber; no miniature rose having theretofore been known to have a climbing habit.
Subsequent to its origination the variety was successfully asexually reproduced by me in my nursery located as aforesaid, both by budding and cuttings; all of the asexual reproductions having been found to carry forward the characteristics of the original plant.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevation showing a spray of flowers and buds of the variety, together with leaves and stems.
Figs. 2 and 3 are similar but smaller views; Fig. 2 showing a number of the buds before opening, while Fig. 3 shows certain of the buds as partially open.
Referring now specifically to the new and distinct variety of rose plant, the following is a detailed description thereof in outline; all major color plate identification being by Maerz and Paul Dictionary of Color.

All of the existing rose varieties hereinbefore mentioned are unpatented, except Tom Thumb, which is the subject of United States Plant Patent No. 169, and High Noon, which is the subject of United States Plant Patent No. 704.
The miniature rose plant and its flowers as herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown.
small brown I claim:
A new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant, substantially as described and illustrated, having an everblooming climbing habit, blooming initially when the plant is six to eight inches high; and further characterized by substantially per f'et'itly shaped buds, and pink flowers with double regularly arranged petalage which is full with the petals, loosely rolled outward, the flowers being long lasting on the plant and when cut, and having excellent col'o'r stability; the plant being readily propagated by budding or cuttings, seedless, and a vigorous grower; and such plant having generally the growth and blooming habits of the High Noon rose, but being distinguished therefrom by being a miniature and bearing pink rather than yellow flowers.
