ROSE PLANT Filed Sept. 21, 1956 ROSE PLANT Wilhelm Kordes, near Elmshorn in Holstein, Sparrieshoop,

Germany, assignor to Jackson & Perkins Company, Newark, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application September 21,1956, Serial No. 611,399

1 Claim. (Cl. 47- -61) nited State-s a new rose variety which combines some of the openness further combining in the new variety some of the characteristics of Peace. This objective was fully attained, as evidenced by the following characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety:

(1) The healthy and vigorous habits of plant growth;

(2) Its leathery and glossy dark Cress Green foliage;

(3) Its large flowers;

(4) The distinctive Marguerite Yellow general color tonality of the center of the flower, with the edges of the petals of Deep Rose Pink and suffusing the color of the fiower center; and

(5 A corresponding bud color showing deeper colored edges with a sutrusion of color in the center.

Considered altogether, the foregoing characteristics and distinctions definitely differentiate my new variety from its parents, as well as from all. others of its class of which I am aware, and represent a unique combination in a hybrid tea rose variety.

Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding, as performed at Newark, New York, U. S. A., and also at Pleasanton, California, U. S. A., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.

The accompanying drawing shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and the flowers of my new variety in different stages of development and as depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.

The following is a detailed description of the new variety, with color terminology in accordance with Ridgeways Color Standards and Nomenclature:
