Abstract
The subject of the present disclosure is a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant, named `Grace Seward`, which is characterized by white blooms with only five petals. Blooms of this rose are usually borne one to a stem but on occasion may be produced in sprays of 3 to 5 or more. the bush is vigorous, well-branched and produces moderate to heavy quantity of blooms.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a hardy, dwarf, bush plant of the miniature class; the variety being primarily characterized as white.
The variety is further characterized by:
Long stemmed blooms with five petals only, borne usually one to a stem but on occasion in sprays of 3 to 5 or more. The blooms are held very erect and well above the foliage.
The plant ranges in height from 24 to 36 inches (60 to 75 cm). The canes are sturdy and erect with moderate branching and medium to heavy foliage covering. The plant is a moderate to heavy bloomer that does well either in the greenhouse or outdoors.
The plant has good growth habits, well-shaped and attractive, bearing numerous leaflets of average size. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by cuttings derived from the plant stem, as performed at Chula Vista, Calif., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The seed parent was Watercolor (U.S. plant Pat. No. 4,031), and the pollen parent was a pink miniature seedling whose parentage is unknown. It differs from its seed parent in the following ways. It is a miniature white rose with only five petals, and watercolor is a medium pink miniature rose with hybrid tea form. It differs from its pollen parent in the following ways. It produces white flowers, and the seedling pollen parent produced pink blooms.
The single color photographic view shows, in plan view, a bouquet of `Grace Seward` in open bloom stage.
The descriptive matter which follows pertains to roses grown and color values observed in plants and newly opened blooms in the months of March through November 1991. The plants were grown outdoors in Chula Vista, Calif., and are believed to be accurate standards for this cultivar in similar conditions of soil and climate elsewhere.
Referring now specifically to the new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant named `Grace Seward`, the following is a detailed description thereof in outline; all major color plate identifications being by reference to The British Colour Council Horticultural Chart, except where common terms of color definition are employed.

Hairs.--Extremely small and sparse with a reddish color; located over the surface of the peduncle and calyx tube.
Calyx.--Color range same as peduncle.
Opening.--Opens well in all weather.
Bloom:
Size when fully open.--Average for a miniature variety (40 to 50 mm).
Petalage.--Single -- 5 petals, arranged regularly, with an occasional 1 or 2 petaloids.

Color: Newly opened flowers from plants grown outdoors (March through November of 1991), Chula Vista, Calif.
All petals.--All surfaces -- White.
General color effect.--Newly opened flowers -- White.
Flower longevity.--March through November 1991). Plant in pot 1 to 2 days from bud with sepals reflexed to fully open bloom. Holding at fully opened for 4 to 6 days longer. Cut bloom at living room temperature 3 to 4 days or longer.
Reproductive organs:
Stamens.--A generous amount arranged uniformly around the pistil.
Filaments.--Varying in length with shorter filaments more proximal to the pistil; pale yellow in color with anthers of golden yellow.
Pollen.--Abundant.
Pistil.--Short, spreading and abundant; pale Yellow to reddish at the cap.
Ovaries.--All encased in calyx.
Hips.--Some.
Seeds.--3 to 5 or more in each hip.
Foliage:
Sepals.--Permanent; spear-shaped; simple and glabrous open as the bloom opens, recurving against the peduncle, when the bloom is fully opened.
Leaves.--5 to 7 leaflets on average; medium size for a miniature rose plant.
Leaflets.--Broad ovate-shaped.
Margins.--Very serrated with tinting of bronze, especially noticeable on the newer foliage.
Color.--Ranging from near Spinach Green (0960/3 to 0960 page 187) to near Scheeles Green (860/1 to 860 page 175) with occasional bronzing of the margins, especially on the newer foliage. Upper surfaces have a semi-glossy finish, and the under surfaces have a matte finish of a slightly lighter shade than the upper surfaces.
Rachis.--Medium strength; upper surface is grooved with very small hairs over the length of it. Under surface has few if any hairs but does contain 2 to 5 small thorns.
Stipules.--Varying in length from small to medium; average width; tapering auricles angled cutward at about 45 degrees.
Growth:
Habit.--Dwarf, bush; above average for a miniature rose plant.
Growth.--Vigorous and well-branched.
Canes.--Medium diameter; sturdy; held erect.
Main stems.--Color range same as foliage.
Thorns.--Averaging less than 5 to 10 per 10 on the main stems and branches. Reddish in color; average size; slender and hooked slightly downward.
Branches.--Color range same as foliage.
The miniature rose plant and its flowers as herein described may vary in slight detail due to climate, soil and cultural conditions under which the variety may be grown; the present description being of the variety as grown in Chula Vista, Calif.
