UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ROSE PLANT Herbert G. Swim, Ontario, Calif., assignor to Armstrong Nurseries, Inc., Ontario, Calif., a corporation of California Application April 12, 1948, Serial No. 20,530

other rose now available in commerce and the dominating points of distinction may be listed as follows: i

(1) The attractive red color intermediate in shade between the flower color of its two parent varieties.

(2) A penetrating tea fragrance distinct from the fragrance of either of its parents.

(3) A tall growing, free-branching plant producing long stems with usually but a single flower to a stem making the variety desirable as not only a decorative plant for the garden but for out flowers as well.

(4) Flower petals with heavy substance giving the flower improved lasting qualities when used as a cut flower.

It is distinct from its seed parent Crimson Glory, Plant Patent No. 105, in the following respects:

(1) Whereas this new variety is tall and upright in habit of growth, its parent, Crimson Glory, is low and spreading.

(2) The color of the flower is a lighter shade of red than those produced by the variety Crimson Glory.

(3) The flowers of this new variety are produced on long stems whereas those of Crimson Glory are produced on relatively short stems.

(4) This new variety has fewer thorns than Crimson Glory.

This new variety of rose differs from its pollen parent, Texas Centennial, Plant Patent No. 162, as follows:

(1) Whereas this new variety is popularly classed as a deep red, its pollen parent is usually described as a deep pink or light red.

(2) This new variety produces canes more slender in habit than those of its pollen parent.

(3) Whereas this new variety is properly classed as a decorative type rose, Texas Centennial is more correctly described as an exhibition type.

(4) The leaflets of this new variety are characteristically oval in shape whereas those of Texas Centennial are ovate to ovate-lanceolate.

Asexual reproduction shows that these characteristics hold true through succeeding propagations.

The accompanying illustration shows specimens of the flowers (much reduced in size) at difierent stages of development from bud to full bloom, and young and mature specimens of foliage of this new variety.
