| Abstract: |
A new miniature rose plant producing yellow flowers. |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, substantially as shown and described. |
| Description: |
SUMMARY OF THEINVENTION
The present invention relates to a new distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing as seed parent the variety known as `Dorola` and as pollen parent the variety known as `Julie Ann`. Thevarietal denomination of this new rose is `Lavgold`.
Among the novel characteristics possessed by this new variety which primarily distinguish it from its parents and all other varieties of which I am aware are its color-fast, bright yellow flowers borne on a plant well suited for pot roseproduction. Lavgold propagates easily from soft wood cuttings and exhibits resistance to powder mildew. It has a dwarf habit suitable for pot rose production and good shelf life.
Asexual reproduction by propagation of cuttings of the new variety as performed in Somis, Calif. shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeedingpropagations.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying illustration shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of the new variety in different stages of development and depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a colorillustration of this character.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
