Abstract

A Rosa hybrida rose plant that is a mutation of the variety "Mary Rose" is disclosed, having pale pink flowers; Portland rose-type leaves; flat, rosette flowers; sweet, heavy fragrance; and very good repeat flowering.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant (Rosa hybrida) of the shrub class discovered as a spontaneous mutant of the unpatented variety "Mary Rose".
The rose plant of the present discovery differs from the parent "Mary Rose" only in its flower color, "Mary Rose" having a deep pink color, and distinguishes from all other varieties of which I am aware with the following unique combination of characteristics:
1. Pale pink flowers;
2. Portland rose-type leaves i.e., leaves usually smaller than those of a hybrid tea rose and having a non-shiny surface such as are possessed by "Comte de Chambord" and "Jacques Cartier" roses.
3. Flat, rosette flowers; and
4. Very good repeat flowering.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding, as performed at Albrighton, Wolverhampton, England, shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The accompanying illustration shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of this new variety in different stages of development, depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
The following is a detailed description of my new rose cultivar with color description using terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society (London) Colour Chart, except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated.
Parentage: Seed and pollen parents unknown; spontaneous mutant of the "Mary Rose" variety.
Classification:
Botanical.--Rosa hybrida.
Commercial.--Shrub.
