| Abstract: |
A shrub rose variety producing red flowers. |
| Claim: |
We claim:
1. A new and distinct shrub rose variety, substantially as shown and described. |
| Description: |
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct shrub rose variety which was originated by our crossing as seed and pollen parents two unnamed and undistributed seedlings of our creation. The varietal denomination of this new rose is`Poulnino`.
Among the novel characteristics possessed by this new variety which distinguish it from its parents and all other varieties of which we are aware are its attractive red flowers borne on a bushy, vigorous plant.
Asexual reproduction by budding of the new variety as performed in Watsonville, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. Other useful forms of asexual reproduction may be also employed.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS
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.
