1 Claim.

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose, the result of across between Julien Potin and Sensation.

As is well known, Julien Potin is considered to be one of the best yellow varieties marked by its pure primrose-yellow, fragrant flowers coining abundantly upon a worth-while plant while Sensation is noted for its large size, scarlet-crimson blossoms.

The objective of the cross in the present instance was the origination of a new rose having certain of the desirable characteristics of its parents. The resu t of this hybridization is the production of a flower of startling color combination as shown in the accompanying illustration in three stages of development and essentially distinct as regards either its parents or others of similar character.

More specifically, this new variety is characterized by (l) the intensity of the color of its flower with its rich contrast between red of the inside and fold and yellow on the outside of its petals; (2) its penetrating sweet, persistent fragrance; (3) very large size and constancy of bloom, and

5 (4) its lustrous contrasting dark green foliage.

Other minor or less important distinctions will be noted in the following specific description of the variety in which the color terminology employed is given in accordance with Ridgways Color standard, the primary characteristics referred to being found to be fixed in the asexual reproductions of the plant:
