| Abstract: |
A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing Chris Jolly as a seed parent and Chattem Centennial as the pollen parent; characterized by it's strong upright growing habit, well formed coral pink blooms which do not fade or lose their strong substance when cut. |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, substantially as shown and described, characterized particularly by clear coral pink well formed blooms that holdtheir color throughout the life of the flower. |
| Description: |
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing as seedparent the rose known as "Chris Jolly" and the rose known as "Chattem Centennial" as pollen parent.
Among the novel characteristics possessed by this new variety which distinguishes it from other varieties of which I am aware are:
1. The bud is exhibition type, the bloom is high centered 11/2" in diameter, full blown and retaining a clear coral pink color in all stages of opening.
2. The blooming habit of this miniature is singly, and an excellent repeater being therefore an attractive rose for the garden or cut flower market.
3. Vigorous upright growing plant that reaches a height of 40-45 cms. having medium green foliage with strong, straight canes.
Asexual reproduction by budding of this variety as performed in Kent County, Md. shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagation.
The color of this new and improved variety developed by me is an unusual coral pink that holds it color from bud to mature bloom and also upon aging. The flower has ovid petals, recurling to a flat open flower.
The accompanying drawingshows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of this new variety depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
The following is a detailed description ofmy new variety, named "Tipper" (Joltip) with color terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.). The terminology used in color description herein refers to plate numbers in the aforementioned color chart, e.g."41D" is plate 41D of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
