ROSE PLANT Filed Sept. 26, 1963 United States Patent M 2,430 ROSE PLANT Pedro Dot, Barcelona, Spain, assignor to The Conard- Pyle Company, West Grove, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Sept. 26, 1963, Ser. No. 311,931 1 Claim. (Cl. Plt.11)

and improved rose variety which is distinguished from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding therein:

(1) A generally compact and moderately tall habit of growth;

(2) A good and continuous flowering habit, with the flowers being borne in clusters of several to a stem;

(3) Good flower petalage, usually ranging from 23 to 28 petals;

(4) A Deep Lilac general color tonality of the flowers which is maintained from the opening stage to maturity with only slight fading; and

(5) A moderate centifolia flower fragrance.

Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding, as performed in Spain and at West Grove, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., 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, which color terminology in accordance with the Horticultural Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are obvious:
