1 Claim.

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant, distinguished from itsparents and from other roses of its class by the uniformity of the coloring of its fiowers'which carries through from the bud to the open stage; by its long bud which opens to a high centered flower and by the unique characteristic marking of the two opposite petals of the outer row. This marking is of a yellow color showing through both sides of the petals and these two petals are streaked with f Pomegranate Purple coloring.

In addition to the foregoing dominating characters, the young shoots bear a great number of thorns on the lower half of the stems, these thorns being close together in irregular formation and thinning out near the top of the shoots.
