Abstract
1. A new and distinct variety of Rose plant of the Floribunda class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the well formed buds which come in large measure on single stems, the buds retaining the Floribunda characteristics of clustering adequately to provide color mass, the excellent petal substance which provides long life to the flower, both on the plant and when cut, the vivid yellow coloring which holds well throughout the life of the flowers, and the well contained growth and upright development with little spreading effect.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Floribunda class, which was originated by me by crossing the rose variety known as "Arlene Francis" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,684) with an unnamed and unpatented seedling which I have developed and which is designated in my records as No. 604-17, the former being the seed parent, and the latter being the pollen parent.
As the result of this breeding, I have produced a new and improved rose variety which is distinguished from its parents, as well as from all other rose varieties of which I am aware as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety:
1. The well formed buds which come in large measure on single stems;
2. The fact that the buds retain the Floribunda characteristics of clustering adequately to provide color mass;
3. The excellent petal substance which provides long life to the flower, both on the plant and when cut;
4. Its vivid yellow coloring which holds well throughout the life of the flowers; and
5. Its well contained growth and upright development with little spreading effect.
In comparison with its pollen parent "Arlene Francis" which is a hybrid tea rose, having typical medium to large flowers and buds with classic, tight pointed, high centers, with smooth petal edges, my new variety is definitely a Floribunda, having a bud which is much more open with slight ruffling of the petal edges. Furthermore, there is substantially more petal substance in my new variety than in the seed parent, and the foliage is more leathery and glossy.
My new variety may show some weathering, depending upon the season, there being a slight reddish tipping of the petals at such time, whereas the seed parent remains at all times the smooth yellow with no such changes.
Referring to the seed parent, the seedling which I designate 604-17, it is noted that this seedling was a short growing plant, nearly like a miniature Hybrid Tea Rose. The pollen parent flowers were medium to small in size, and came always on single stems with near perfect classic petal conformation and of extremely stiff petal substance so as to appear almost artificial. The buds and flowers of my new variety are much more informal with slightly open centers of the bud and typical clustering, more in the nature of a Floribunda. The pollen parent color was a smooth, light yellow, whereas the new variety is a deeper yellow color, having the characteristic of producing reddish edging at certain times of the year. While the pollen parent flowers were borne with completely smooth petal edges, the new variety has flowers with slightly serrated edges.
Asexual reproduction of my new variety by budding made at Ontario, Calif., shows that the aforementioned 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 my new variety, and as depicted in color as nearly true as is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
The following is a detailed description of my new variety, with color terminology in accordance with Munsell's Color Cascade, published by Munsell Color Company, Inc., of Baltimore, Md., except where general color terms of usual dictionary significance are accurately definitive:
Type: Hardy; bush; outdoor; seedling; for cut flowers and for garden decoration.

Inner petal.--Outside surface -- 27-5. Inside surface -- Yellow 27-6 with streaks of 39-5 Pink.
This description was made from a rose that was open for three days indoors in the month of September at Chino, Calif.:
