Abstract: A new unusual Mars Orange colored miniature rose.
Claim: I claim:

1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class and all the parts thereof, substantially as shown and described, characterized particularly by attractive Marsorange colored flowers which are long lasting on the plant and as cut flowers.
Description: The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which wasoriginated by my crossing as seed and pollen parents two unnamed, unpatented seedlings of my creation. The denomination of this new rose is "Savaday".

Among the novel characteristics possessed by this new variety which distinguish it from its parents and all other varieties of which I am aware are its unusual Mars orange colored flowers in this class of rose. Flowers are long lasting on theplant and after cutting. Asexual reproduction by budding of the new variety as performed in Essex County, Mass. shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeedingpropagations.

The accompanying drawing shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of the new variety in different stages of development and as depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in acolor illustration of this character.

The following is a detailed description of my new variety, with color terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.). The terminology used in color descriptionherein refers to plate numbers in the aforementioned color chart, e.g., "146C" is plate 146C of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
