| Abstract: |
A hybrid tea rose variety having a vigorous upright habit of growth, suitability for garden cut flowers, unusual flower colors that change with flower maturity, glossy green foliage and a light pleasing flower fragrance. |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of avigorous upright habit of growth, suitability for garden cut flowers, unusual flower colors that change with flower maturity, glossy green foliage and a light pleasing flower fragrance. |
| Description: |
Thispresent invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class which was originated by crossing the variety Bridal Pink, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,851, with an unnamed variety.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety in the hybrid tea class with good vigor and in the yellow flower group. This objective was substantially achieved along with other desirable improvements as evidenced bythe following unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety and which distinguish it from its parents as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. A vigorous upright habit of growth;
2. Production of large showy flowers;
3. Strong flower stem suitable for garden cut flowers;
4. A distinctive and attractive color of the flowers beginning in the bud with a bright yellow overcast with pink bands, opening to a bright solid yellow fading to a creamy white fringed with pink at flower maturity;
5. Light fragrance; and
6. Dark green glossy foliage.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding, as performed at Wasco, Calif., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
Theaccompanying illustration shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of this new variety in different stages of development, depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of thischaracter.
The following is a detailed description of my new rose cultivar with color in terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated:
