ROSE

Filed Sept. 1, 1957 INVENTOR MICHAEL H HORVATH BY I HIS ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 25, 1938 UNITED STATES Plant Pat.

PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates to a new variety of rose, a Rosa Setigera Hybrid, produced by crossing the variety Mrs. F. F. Prentiss, as the female parent, with the variety Lady Alice Stanley as the male parent. Successful asexual reproduction has been made.

The variety is of a hardy nature, it being a setigera hybrid, and it thrives without protection in the temperate region, and it can be successfully grown with protection in the colder regions where the growing of roses has been impossible or exceedingly diflicult.

The foliage is of a shiny bright dark green color, comparable to Deep Brunswick Green of Maerz and Paul, Plate No. 24 A-l2, and it is characteristically resistant to the ordinary rose maladies, such as mildew and blackspot.

The shrub reaches an ultimate height of from three to three-and-one-half feet, with a conspicuous upright and rounding growth and a spread of two to three feet, and with a very free growth of foliage from the top to the base of the shrub, all of which shrub characteristics make it very suitable and handsome for hedge purposes.

The compact flowers are imbricated in camellia-like form and they are borne singly and in clusters on stems fifteen to twenty-four inches long. The flowers are of a two-toned fresh pink color, corresponding to Peach Blossom Plate No. 1 C-2 and Plate No. 1 D-4, resembling miniature blooms of the variety Lady Alice Stanley, and they grow abundantly on each plant. Eighty or more petals make up each flower, and they are so arranged as to make a full flower to the center, providing a rose flower which is distinctly rich in beauty.

The leaflets have veins which are of a reddish color, comparable to Mayflower Plate No. 3 J-3, and the prickles have a similar hue or cast, which blend well with the flower color.

The following is a detailed description of my new variety:

The drawing illustrates many of the characteristics which are not found in the parent stock and which make the variety of more value as a plant and increase its beauty.

Having now fully shown and described my new rose, and the mode of its production, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

A rose as herein shown and described and distinguished by its hardy character, shrub growth very suitable for hedge purposes, shiny bright dark green foliage resistant to rose maladies and having veins prominent with a reddish hue or cast, distinctive full flowers imbricated in camellia-like form and of a two-toned pink color resembling miniature Lady Alice Stanley blooms profusely borne singly and in clusters and in a manner making them very suitable as cut flowers.
