1 Claim.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Climbing Hybrid Tea Rose plant, the result of definite efforts to combine the desirable characteristics of two well .known 5 climbers, one marked for its delicate pink flowers and the other for its yellow flowers.

This new rose was produced by crossing Mme. Gregoire Staechelin with Climbing souvenir de Claudius Pernet, this peculiar combinationdeveloping a fragrant, remontant climbing rose of real hardiness.

The accompanying original illustration shows the and bud flowers in approximately their actual size in the various stages of development from to full open flower. The principal distinctive and in the full open fiower'its Empire Yellow color at the center blending into the Begonia Rose of the balance of the petals, while on the reverse the color is'Pinard Yellow.

Further, the Begonia Rose color of the outer petals with the Empire Yellow aiglet, together with the shiny inside and outside of the thick informal arranged notched petals, makes a striking contrast.

The large double globular blooms of tea fragrance are borne in clusters on medium strong stems producing a decidedly attractive Begonia Rose to Eosine Pink tonality during the blooming period.

Asexual reproduction of this rose shows that the distinctive features'are established.

The following is a detail description of the new variety, all references to color being in accord with Ridgways Color Standard.
