1 Claim.

This invention relates to a novel and distinct variety of perpetual flowering rose produced by the intercross of species Rosa maltz'floa and species Rosa canina, followed by a re-cross 5 with variety Horvaths Improved Hortulanus Budde. Successful asexual reproduction has been made.

This new variety is of a very hardy nature, growing without protection in the temperate region to an ultimate height of from twenty-four to thirty inches and with a spread of eighteen inches or greater. It can be successfully grown with protection in the colder regions Where the growing of roses has been impossible or exceedingly difficult.

The iiowers, of a glowing cherry red color comparable to Maerz and Paul Plate No. 2 L-6, and having a light orange center, comparable to Golden Glow, Plate No. 9L-6. are vividly brilliant. reflection of a fiery orange glow which radiates from the flower in its full bloom stage. Each flower has from thirty to thirty-six petals.

The foliage is characteristically healthy and of a glaucous green color, comparable to Danube Green Plate No. 31 A-lO, the pedicels and stalks are of a like color.

The rose blooms profusely, singly and in clusters, throughout the entire summer season, mak- 30 ing the variety especially adapted for giving lasting sweeps of brilliant color.

The drawing further illustrates many of the characteristics which are not found in the parent stock or in other rose varieties and which make the variety of more value as a shrub and increase its attractiveness.
