Plant Pat. 1,682

Feb. 11, 1958 E; s. BOERNER ROSE PLANT iled Feb. 27. 1957 [N VEN TOR A TTORNE Y8 United States. Patent The present invention relates to a new an djdistinct variety of rose plant of the large-flowered polyantha class,-which'was originated bym'e by crossing the variety Golden Glow"f(Plant"Patent No. 263) with the variety Goldilocks (Plant Patent No. 672).

'As the result of this breeding, I have produced a new rose variety which is particularly distinct from, all others of 'tliisclass by reason of its lowegrowing, bushy and spreading hab'its 'of growth, with horizontal and pendulous -branches, as compared with, the typical "upright growth of floribunda'roses. I

In addition to the unique growth characteristics re- ;ferredto above, the-new variety is also characterized as to novelty by the following combination of outstanding features:

edged with red coloring;

(2) The foliage is a dark, glossy, green color which contrasts in an attractive manner with the light yellow flowers;

(3) The foliage is highly resistant to blackspot and mildew;

(4) The flowers are a clear yellow color which holds well throughout the life of the flowers;

. (5) The flowers are fully double in form so that the stamen and pistils rarely show; and

(6) The peduncles are a brilliant red colo r,

The foregoing characteristics definitely "difierentiate my new variety from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware.

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

Theaccompanying drawing shows typicalspecimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of my new variety in different stages of development and as depicted in color.

The following is a detailed description of the new variety, with color terminology in accordance with the Horticultural Color .Chart issued by the British Color Council in collaboration with the RoyalHorticultural Society, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are obvious:
