| Abstract: |
Hybrid tea rose plant capable of high production of long-stemmed large blooms of light pink, having strong fragrance and long vase life. |
| 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 ofits high production of long-stemmed cut-flower blooms, strong fragrance, few thorns, long vase life and its large, attractive, light pink flowers. |
| Description: |
The present invention relates to a new anddistinct variety of rose plant of the Hybrid tea class which was originated by me by crossing the variety INTERval, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,648, with the variety KORampa, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,411.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the fragrance and flower size of the female parent INTERval combined with the high production and lack of thorns of the male parent KORampa. The objective wassubstantially achieved along 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 ofwhich I am aware:
1. Strong, heavy fragrance;
2. Large, well-shaped hybrid tea flowers;
3. High production (30-35 stems per plant) of long-stemmed flowers;
4. Good vase life;
5. Few thorns.
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 descriptions using terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society (London) Colour Chart, except where ordinary dictionary significance of coloris indicated.
