1 Claim.

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of hybrid tea. rose, marked primarily for the gracefulness of its flowers and their informal appearance when open.

The new rose is noted for its vigorous branching habit and freedom of flowering, but more particularly an important feature of novelty resides in the peculiar formation of the sepals which are branched and almost large enough to 10 be termed miniature leaves.

Other distinguishing characteristics found in this new variety are, the very small calyx which contains only a small number of ovaries, the majority of which protrude inside the flower, and

15 the luminous Rose Doree color of the flowers which fades to Eosine Pink in the final stages.

This new rose has been asexwally reproduced andfound to come true to form.
