ROSE PLANT Filed March 1, 1960 ROSE PLANT Eugene S. Boeruer, Newark, N.Y., assignor to Jackson & Perkins Company, Newark, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed Mar. 1, 1960, Ser. No. 12,242

1 Claim. (Cl. 47-61) 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 Golden Masterpiece (Plant Patent No. 1,284) with the variety Kate Smith (Plant Patent N0, 1,317).

The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety which bears firmer and more highcentered flowers, combined with the excellent growth habits and foliage of the parent variety Golden Masterpiece. This objective was fully achieved, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety and which distinguish it from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:

(1) Tall, vigorous shoots on which the flowers are borne;

(2) Distinctive thorns which have straight points and large, flat bases;

(3) Flowers which are of exceptionally large size for this particular color range;

(4) A high-centered hybrid tea flower form; and

(5) A distinctive color tonality of the flowers corresponding to Light Orange-Yellow, lightly overcast with Grenadine Pink.

Asexual reproduction of my new variety by budding, as performed at Newark, New York, and also at Pleasanton, California, shows that the aforementioned 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.

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