ROSE PLANT Filed Sept. 9, 1940 Patented Jan. 14, 1941 ROSE PLANT Eugene S. Boerner, Newark, N. Y., assignor to Jackson & Perkins Company, Newark, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application September 9, 1940, Serial No. 356,076

1 Claim. (01. 4761) Plant Pat. 437

This new and distinct variety of hybrid tea rose plant was discovered by me on a seedling Heinrich Wendland Max Krause and represents a distinctive improvement over its parent in a number of its features.

Among the novel characteristics, its most important distinction related to its utility lies in the new color combination of its flowers, the petals of which are Flame Scarlet on their reverse, and slightly veined Cadmium Yellow on the inside.

Both its loose open growth and continuous flowering are unusual in roses of this color range.

In structure, the calyx may be said to be nonexistent, and almost flat, the ovaries protruding therefrom, and due to the peculiar formation of the calyx, the ovaries are all in the flower. The petaloids are much lengthened and more prominent than usual.

It is also notable that the young foliage is very dark, in color Hays Maroon on the upper side and Van Dyke Red on the under side.

The new growth appears to have only a small amount of thorns and the leaf stems lack hooks or prickles.

Asexual reproduction has disclosed that the distinguishing characteristics above referred to come true to form.

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