Sept. 3, 1957 A. MANSUINO Plant Pat. 1,639

ROSE PLANT Filed Dec. 51, 1956 The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, which was originated by me by crossing the variety Crimson Glory (U. S. Plant Patent No. 105) with the variety Signora (U. S. Plant Patent No. 201).

The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety in which there is combined the vigor of the parent variety Signora and the rich red bloom color of Crimson Glory. This objective was fully achieved, along with other improvements, as evidenced by the following characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety:

(1) Vigorous plant and growth;

(2) Free-blooming habit;

(3) A distinctive Rose Red general color tonality, with the lower half of the petals overcast with Rose color which is-accentuated by the Acajou Red color of the young shoots; and

(4) The very strong bloom fragrance of Old Rose Perfume.

The foregoing characteristics definitely distinguish my new variety from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of its class, and asexual reproduction thereof by budding, as performed at Newark, New York, U. S. A., and also at Pleasanton, California, U. S. A., shows that these 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 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.
