What I claim is:

A new and distinct variety of hybrid tea rose plant, characterized as to novelty by its distinctive dark and leathery'foliage, the predominating rose red color up to the fully opened stage then changing to rose color in the vivid combination coloring of its flowers, the large size of flower and number of petals thereof, substantially as shown and described.
