ROSE PLANT Filed fieo; '5, 1966 United States Patent" "ice 2,098 ROSE PLANT William Zombory and Sophia B. Zombory, Detroit, Mich, assignors to Jackson & Perkins Company, Newark, N .Y., a corporation of New York Filed Dec. 5, 1960, Ser. No. 73,942 1 Claim. (Cl. 47-61) The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the climber class, which was originated by us by crossing the variety New Dawn (Plant Patent No. l) with the variety Fashion (Plant Patent No. 789).

The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety of the climber class which bears flowers having a color comparable to that of the flowers of the parent variety Fashion, combined with the reblooming habit of the parent variety New Dawn. This objective was fully achieved, along with other desirable improvements, 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 we are aware:

(1) A pillar type habit of growth, with 6 to 8 foot bottom breaks;

(2) A recurrent blooming habit of the new wood throughout the entire growing season;

(3) A free blooming habit; and

(4) A distinctive and attractive Eosine Pink general color tonality of the flowers comparable to the color of the flowers of Fashion.

Asexual reproduction of our new variety by budding, as performed on our behalf 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 our new variety in diflerent 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, and also shows a complete plant, as depicted in black and white for the purpose of illustrating the climbing habit of growth of the plant.
