Description

July 5, 1966 p, ARMSTRONG ETAL Plant Pat. 2,654
ROSE PLANT Filed Aug. 17, 1965 United States Patent 2,654 ROSE PLANT David L. Armstrong and Herbert C. Swim, both of Ontario, Calif., assignors to Armstrong Nurseries, lnc., Ontario, Califl, a corporation of California Filed Aug. 17, 1965, Ser. No. 480,537 1 Claim. (Cl. Plt.-18)
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, which was originated by us by crossing an unnamed rose variety which is the subject of Plant Patent No. 1,254, with an unnamed and unpatented seedling of unidentified parentage, the first unnamed variety being the seed parent, and the second unnamed variety being the pollen parent.
The general objective of this breeding was to produce a new and improved hybrid tea rose variety having flowers of the white or near white color range, while combining the vigor, quite double petalage and good hybrid tea habit, with long single stems, of the seed parent, along with the excellent urn-shaped buds, white flower color and good disease resistance for a white flowered rose variety of the pollen parent.
This objective was fully achieved, along with other desirable improvements, as evidenced by the following 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:
(I) A very vigorous plant habit which is much greater than that of other hybrid tea rose varieties in the near white color range;
(2) Attractive, dark green, glossy and disease resistant foliage;
(3) Excellent, long, urn-shaped buds;
(4) Double flowers of large size which' are borne singly on long stems;
(5) A distinctive and attractive general color tonality of the flowers corresponding to pale blush pink, or near white, which contrasts in a very attractive manner with the dark green foliage; and i (6) A strong flower fragrance.
In comparison with its seed parent, the flowers of our new variety have considerably less petalage than those of this parent, and the flower color is pale blush pink, or near white, as distinguished from the light yellow flower color of the parent.
As compared with its pollen parent, the new variety is much more vigorous, the flowers are borne on much longer stems and more often on single stems, while the flowers are near White, with a trace of pale pink, while those of this parent have no pale pink coloring at anytime, and the flowers of the new variety have a very strong fragrance, while those of this parent have virtually no fragrance.
Asexual reproduction of our new variety by budding, as performed at Ontario, 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 our new variety in dilferent 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 the new variety, with color terminology in accordance with Robert F.
