United States Patent l 2,627 ROSE PLANT Robert V. Lindquist, Hemet, Calif., assignor to Hernet Wholesale, Hemet, Califl, a partnership Filed Apr. 5, 1965, Ser. No. 445,810 1 Claim. (Cl. Plt.-20)

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 an unnamed and unpatended seedling of Charlotte Armstrong (Plant Patent No. 355) X Floradora unpatented) with the variety Nocturne (Plant Patent No. 713).

As the result of this breeding, I have produced a new and improved rose variety which is particularly characterized as to novelty by the following unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding therein and which distinguish it from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:

(1) Above average vigor;

(2) A uniform and upright habit of growth; and

(3) A unique Rose Red general color tonality of the flowers, popularly described as cherry red.

Asexual reproduction of my new variety by budding, as performed at Hemet, California, shows that the foregoing 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 Robert F. Wilsons Horticultural Colour Chart (hereinafter abbreviated as (W)) and Ridgways Color Standards and Nomenclature (hereinafter abbreviated as (R)), as indicated, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are obvious:
