1 Claim.

My new invention relates to a rose colored hybrid tea rose and is an improvement over the Red Radiance of which it is a sport.

This rose was discovered by me as a branch of a. plant of Red Radiance and it differs from its parent in several important points. The buds and blooms are of a clear deep rose pink and arelarger than those of its parent. The buds of the rose are vase-shaped rather than globular as are those of the parent.

I have asexually reproduced this new variety over a period of time sufiiciently long to be able to definitely declare that its distinguishing characteristics are firmly fixed.

Growth: very vigorous upright bush, attaining a height of four feet or more. Prolific bloomer. Stem: Long, straight, stout. Thoma-Large sharp,

red. Foliage: Abundant and very sturdy.

Leaves.Compound, usually composed of five leaflets.

Leaflets.--Shapeovate with acuminate apex and rounded base; edges sharply serrated. Sizetermina1 leaflets average about 2%," by 1 to 1%" wide. Color-upper surface, Spinach Green (Plate V), under surface, Pois Green (Plate XLI) edges sometimes tinged with red.

Rachia-Heavy, grooved and red tinged above; smooth beneath.

Stipules.Long and clinging, slender pointed tips sometimes curved.

Behavion-Retaim form and petals cling tenaciously.

Fragrwnca-Distinct and very pleasant, similar to that of the parent, but intensified.

Reproductive organs Stamens: Many, irregularly bunched around pistils.

Filaments.0f varying lengths, approximately Ochr-aceous Buff in color (Plate Anthem- -Medium size. Colorapproxior mately Yellow Ocher (Plate XV). Pistils: Numerous, closely bunched.

StyIes.--Uneven, shorter than stamens, Light Greenish Yellow (Plate V).

Stigmas.-Approximately Primuline Yellow (Plate XEH) Hips: Large, tapering gradually to stem.

Havingthus described my invention I claim:

A new and distinct variety of hybrid tea rose, characterized primarily by its large blossoms of a clear deep rose color, its vase-shaped bud, and its free and vigorous growth.
