1 Claim.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant, the result of a definite effort to produce a rose representing an improvement upon the parents and in class of hybrid teas.

This new variety is characterized as to novelty by its habit of upright growth, the abundance of its leathery Yew Green foliage closely spaced on the stems, and the large individual flowers of Begonia Pink which on ageing uniformly lightens to Rose Doree, giving always the impression of rich pink, quite unusual in pink roses due to the underlying Lemon Chrome coloring which permeates each petal.
