| Abstract: |
A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class is provided which often bears a single bloom per stem having an attractive pink and white tonality. The new variety originated by the crossing of an unnamed and unpatented Miniature rose seedling with the variety Ma Perkins (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,143), a Floribunda whose parentage was the variety Red Radiance (unpantented) crossed with the variety Fashion (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 789). |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly by a vigorous growth habit, the commonformation of an attractive single bloom per stem having a distinctive pink and white tonality, and the formation of dark green foliage which covers the plant well having above average resistance to common garden diseases. |
| Description: |
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present variety relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed and unpatented Miniature rose seedling with a Floribunda rose named Ma Perkins (U.S. Plant Pat. No.1,143). The parentage of Ma Perkins variety was the variety Red Radiance (unpatented) crossed with the variety Fashion (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 789).
As the result of this breeding, I have produced a new and distinct rose variety of the Miniature Class which is distinguished from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware, as evidenced by the following uniquecombination of characteristics which are outstanding therein:
(a) a vigorous growth habit,
(b) the common formation of an attractive single bloom per stem having a distinctive pink and white tonality, and
(c) the formation of dark green foliage which covers the plant well having above average resistance to the common garden diseases.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding and by cuttings, as performed at West Grove, Pa., shows that the aforementioned characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeedingpropagations.
The new variety has been named the Schanbiran variety.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of my new variety in different stages of development cultivated in the outdoors at West Grove, Pa. as depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonablypossible to make the same in color illustrations of this character. FIG. 1 was obtained during August 1981, and FIG. 2 was obtained during October 1982.
