| Abstract: |
A grandiflora rose high centered flowers of two-tone lavender purple color. It is resistant to powdery mildew and rust. |
| Claim: |
It is claimed:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the grandiflora class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the uniquecombination of its novel two-tone lavender purple color, its excellent high centered flower form and its resistance to both powdery mildew and rust. |
| Description: |
The present invention relates to a new anddistinct variety of rose plant of the Grandiflora class which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed seedling, with the variety Angel Face, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,792.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the vigor and flower color of Angel Face combined with the high centered flower form of the unnamed seedling female parent. The objective was substantially achievedalong with other desirable improvements as evidenced by the 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. Unusal two-tone lavender purple color;
2. Resistance to powdery mildew and rust;
3. Excellent high centered flower form.
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 vegative 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 descriptions using terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society (London) Colour Chart, except where ordinary dictionary significance of coloris indicated.
