1 Claim.

This invention relates to a, newand distinct variety of rose plant, originating as a "seedling resulting from a cross of two well known varieties Charles P. Kilham and President Hoover.

The new rose combines a number of the desirable characteristics of its parents,"receiving apparently its habit of vigorous growth and tendency to long foliaceous sepals from "President Hoover, and its spreading manner of growth of clasping type of sepals from its other parent. The flowers incorporate the colors of both parents, giving rise to an extraordinarycolor ar- ,rangement of particular value for out flowers as.

. The vigorous, somewhat spreading habit of growth; the thick, leathery leaves which are of 9,0 largesize where the plants are well grown; the unusually long, heavy stems supporting the flower on 'a stifi peduncle of rather large size and unusual length; the more than normal tendency to produceonly'one flower per stem; the extreme- 15; long, urn-shapedbuds, Spectrum Red. in cool weatherto Rose .Doree in hot weather, opening to huge flowers, four to sixinchesacross, varying in color whenopen from Carmineto Spectrum Red to Begonia Rose, with a center of Lemon G IOm l Thetea fragrance of the flower is quite pronounced, as is the thick heavy substance of the petals which are extremely largeon the outer portion of the flower.
