1 Claim. 1

The present discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant, ori ginating as a sport of the well-known varietyCrimson Glory (Pl. Pat. #105) found growing by me in the nursery "of Jackson &. Perkins Company, at Pleasanton, California.

The dominating feature of novelty of this new rose is its climbing habit, characterized by its long, climbing" shoots which bear flowers as soon as,,th,e climbing growth has stopped. As the plants'growolder, the shoots grow longer.

The parent variety of this new rose is a very popular one beoa'use'it'is unsurpassed for its vivid, velvety crimson colored blooms, outstanding in depth of color tone. It is, however, of the low bushy 'type,growing vigorously to a height of only about 30".

The accompanying drawing shows a specimen of the new variety which reaches to a height of some six feet or more, increasing in height as it grows older. The long growing canes are well exemplified by this illustration at A and B, looking downwardly on the plant. The flowers, buds, and foliage are the same as the parent bush variety.

A further dominant characteristic of this new variety is its habit of sending out short auxiliary flowering branches, an example of which is shown as nearly as possible to depict at about the center of the illustration in the drawing, as at C.

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