signor to Armstrong Nurseries, Inc., Ontario, Calif., a corporation of California Application February 8, 1945, Serial No. 576,741

1 Claim. 1

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant in the class of hybrid Pernetiana teas, originated by the crossing of the well-known variety Sister Therese and Captain Thomas, well disclosed in Plant Patent No. 393.

This new rose is characterized as to novelty by the depth and brilliance of color of its flowers, not heretofore found in continuous blooming hybrid teaxhybrid Pernetiana yellow pillar roses; by a high degree of resistance to fading, unlike the norma1 tendency to fade that is very pronounced in yellow roses, particularly at. the, tips of the petals, the present variety approximating uniformity in coloring from the base of the petals to the apex; and by a continuity of bloom not heretofore found in double yellow pillar rose types.

Additionally to the above flower characteristics,

the foliage of the present variety show a very high degree of mildew resistance for its class, the foliage developing heavy, glossy and leathery on a free-branching, vigorous plant, relatively free from prickles, all as hereinafter more particularly set forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

Asexual reproduction of this new variety shows the foregoing characteristics come true to form and are established. 1

The following is a detailed description of this new variety, the color terminology being in accord with the Robert F. Wilson Horticultural Colour Chart, except where otherwise designated as taken from Ridgways Color Standard:
