The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class,

the result of crossing the two known varieties Justine (Plant Patent No.154), g

The object in view,,in making this cross, was

to obtain a variety of greater productivity in the Captain Glisson (Plant Patent'No: 155) andclass of greenhouse forcing roses" than thep'ollen variety, and the rose'prdduced not only-possesses this characteristic, based on cutting records over a period of years in comparison with standard varieties, but combines with it an unusual color The new rose is unlike any other greenhouse forcing rose of whic'hI am aware. It is slightly similar in color to Justine while infbud, and to Captain Glisson when open; Itsco'loris the unusual combination of Light Ochraceous Buff and White, and while the canes of Captain Glisson are somewhat longer, the blooms have more petals than that variety, or even Justine.

The new variety has been asexually reproduced and found to hold its distinguishing characteristics through succeeding propagations by cuttings,

' grafting, and budding.
