| Abstract: |
Miniature rose plant having compact, quite rounded growth habit; bright-colored, distinctive, small, hybrid-tea-shaped blooms; large flower clusters; and small, dark green, disease-resistant foliage. |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of itscompact, quite rounded growth habit; bright-colored, distinctive, small, hybrid-tea-shaped blooms; large flower clusters; and small, dark green, disease-resistant foliage. |
| Description: |
The presentinvention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature class that was originated by me by crossing two unnamed seedlings, each of which was the result of crossing unnamed seedlings.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the bright orange with yellow reverse flower color and hybrid tea-shaped bloom of the female parent combined with the miniature plant habit and large flower clustersof the male parent. The objective was substantially achieved, along with other desirable improvements, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics that are outstanding in the new variety and that distinguish it from its parents,as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. Small, yellow and orange-red flowers presented in large clusters;
2. Compact growth habit;
3. Small, dark green, disease-resistant foliage; and
4. Hybrid-tea-shaped blooms.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by softwood cuttings as performed at Wasco, Calif., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The accompanying 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 colorillustration of this character.
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 dictionarysignificance of color is indicated.
