1 Claim. (CI. 4761) The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant, the result of a definite effort, by hybridizing certain known varieties, to produce an improved hybrid tea having a num- 5 her of desirable features.

This new variety I have found to be a good grower, very well branched with an unusual amount of foliage. It is also an excellent bloomer, and an important feature resides in its habit 1-0 of quickly repeating its bloom the second time after its first bloom. It is also particularly notable that this new variety possesses a high rating for form, color, and fragrance, the rose holding its color far better than most red roses, without turning purple as the bloom ages.

The new variety is particularly useful as a garden rose for decoration purposes.

Other detailed characteristics of novelty and distinctiveness are indicated in the following detailed description of the variety in which the color terminology employed accords with Ridgways Color Standard:

Bloom: H

Size, when fully open.Medium, four inches to four and one-half inches.

PetaZage.--Double, from to petals; ar-
