Abstract

A new and distinct garden and greenhouse rose plant particularly distinguished by its continuous and profuse production of very large flowers having a strong overall Union Jack Red coloration blooming readily from early Spring until late Fall under natural conditions, the flowers being born on long, strong upright stems of a tall plant having a vigorous, upright and sturdy growth habit with abundant foliage.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new variety of rose plant originated as a seedling hybrid produced by me at my Carlsbad, Calif., nursery, the present hybrid resulting from my crossing of the variety `Samantha` U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,727 as a seed parent, with pollen of an unnamed and unpatented seedling selected from my collection of rose plants maintained for breeding purposes. The object of that crossing was to find a plant of good health and vigor, a good production capacity and improved sun resistance and the present seedling was selected from seedlings resulting from the cross because of its solid Red coloration of the flowers and the apparent ability of the plant to meet the aforementioned objectives of the said crossing for the present hybrid. I propagated this selected seedling at the Pleasanton, Calif. nursery of DeVor Nurseries, Inc. by both cuttings and buds and plants so grown in both greenhouse and field clearly demonstrated that the novel characteristics of the selected seedling would be held true from generation to generation and appeared to be firmly fixed and suitable for production on a commercial scale. This new plant was, therefore, set out for commercial scale production at DeVor Nurseries, Inc. at nurseries at Orland, Calif.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
My new rose plant is illustrated by the accompanying full color photographic drawing which shows a face view of a fully opened bloom and demonstrates the flower form and the nature of its petals, the color shown being as nearly true to that herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by conventional photographic procedures.
