1 Claim.

The present invention relates-to. a new and distinct variety. oflrose plant-having the following combinationhof dominating distinctive char: acteristics:

(1) A.-fiower substantially equal to. that of the hybrid tea class of rose in size but producedsingly and,.in..clusters..with the relative freedom of "the Floribunda? or- Hybrid. Polyantha.

(2). A colonfastness unusual inred roses.

(3). A color, value unusual in redroses and especially in .a rose of this. type.

This. new variety. differs. from its. seed parent Minna Kordesi (World-is Flair) Plant Patent No. 362,- in the following. manner:

(1) A deeper color of red in ,thefl'owers-..

(2). Alargerfiowerh v (3) A more upright, compacthabit ofjgrowth.

This new variety differs from its pollen parent, Mirandy, Plant Patent-No. 632, in the following manner:

( 1) It has flowers with a deeper color ofreds.

(2-) Theiiowers aofthisrnew variety. arersemidouble; whereas those of -Mirandyi are. double.

(3) The flowers of thisznew variety... have a slight fragrance; whereas... the flowers of Mirandy have a very strongdragrance.

(4) This :new variety is, vbecause'of its greater flower production, more satisfactory as .-a=:garden decorative variety than Mirandy.

Asexual.-. reproduction: of this newvariety showsthe foregoingcharacteristics comeltrue to form and-are established..
