Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class which was originated by crossing as seed parent the cultivar `Matangi` and as pollen parent the cultivar `Stars 'n Stripes` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,029). It is a new, almost continuously and profusely blooming rose plant, of the miniature class, having well formed buds with hybrid tea shape and open-faced flowers with petals slightly cupped and reflexing, with contrasting red and white stripes. The flowers are pleasantly highlighted by their placement over a healthy and dense crop of glossy, deep green foliage on an upright and vigorously growing, well branched plant.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class which was originated by me by crossing, as the seed parent, the rose known as `Matangi` and as pollen parent the rose plant known as `Stars 'n Stripes` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,029). Upon recognition of the attributes of this plant within the progeny of the stated cross, it was selected for further testing and observation. Upon recognition that this plant was novel and expressed numerous superior and desirable traits as described below, the plant of this application was assigned an international recognition name of `Macpluto`. This plant has been asexually reproduced by me or under my direction by cuttings and by budding in Washington County, Oreg. Such asexual reproduction has conclusively shown that all distinguishing characteristics of this plant come true to form, are firmly fixed, and are faithfully transmitted through succeeding propagations.
Specimens described below were grown in Washington County, Oreg.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new plant of this invention contains a number of outstanding attributes in combination which set it apart from all other plants of the miniature rose market class. Such characteristics may be summarized as follows:
A new and conspicuously attractive flower having red and white striped petals.
Bud form similar to that typical of hybrid teas.
Open-faced flowers which open to a substantially flat form with petals slightly cupped and reflexing, set off in full bloom by golden yellow stamens.
Petals of gently rounded shape and of pleasing characteristicly contrasting and random patterns of red and white stripes.
A plant which is highly remontant and blooms almost continuously and profusely.
Flowers formed singly or in sprays of 3 to 5 placed over a healthy and dense crop of glossy, deep green foliage on an upright, compact, but vigorously growing, and well branched plant.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The single sheet of photographic drawing depicts the buds and open-faced flowers of `Macpluto` in various stages of maturity; the flower stems of the plant, and the vegetative growth and foliage characteristics of the plant in colors as true as is reasonably possible to attain in a color illustration of this nature.
Color terminology used in the descriptions which follow is in accordance with the Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (RHSCC). The terminology used in the color descriptions herein refers to plate numbers in the aforementioned color chart.
