Abstract: A new and distinct rose plant of the Hybrid Tea class named `Seemore`. The plant is characterized by vigorous growth, non-fragrant flowers with purple red petals (R.H.S. 57 A-58 B on the inner side and R.H.S. 55D on the outer side), early and prolific flower production, and fast and good propagating features.
Claim: I claim:

1. A new and distinct rose plant of the Hybrid Tea class named `Seemore` as shown and described; said plant being characterized by vigorous growth, non-fragrant flowers with purple redpetals (R.H.S. 57 A-58 B on the inner side and R.H.S. 55D on the outer side), early and prolific flower production, and fast and good propagating features.
Description: CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENTS

The new and distinct cultivar described and illustrated herein is related to the cultivar `Odem`, which is the subject of U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,620, issued Mar. 1, 1994.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is concerned with a new variety of a Hybrid Tea rose discovered by me and being a mutation of `Odem`, which is the subject of U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,620 which is a mutation of `Carola`, which is the subject of U.S. PlantPat. No. 8,290, issued Jul. 6, 1993, which in turn is a mutation of `Deladel` (`Mme. G. Delbard`), which is the subject of U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,391, issued Jul. 6, 1993.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This mutation was discovered as a branch on an `Odem` plant in 1993 on a cultivated area in a farm, located in Moshav Hayogev, located in Izra'el Valley, Israel, with an average night temperature of 25.degree. C. in summer and0.degree.-5.degree. C. in winter.

The branch was vegetatively propagated from cuttings by self-rooting. From these cuttings plants were grown in a green house where they were further vegetatively propagated from cuttings by self-rooting.

The resulting plants were found to be stable in their botanical characteristics, as are described below and as illustrated by typical plants parts in the attached photographs.

Asexual propagation of this new variety was performed at Moshav Ha-yogev, Israel.

The presently claimed cultivar was a natural mutation of the cultivar `Odem`.

All color definitions in this application are taken from The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England, (R.H.S.) Colour Chart.

The data in the following table of comparison is based on observations made in the greenhouse at Moshav Ha'yogev, Israel, where plants were grown side-by-side, under the same conditions and under the same roof. The following observations weremade between the present invention and a plant of the parent cultivar, `Odem`.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Sheet 1 represents a typical specimen of the present invention, illustrating a flower bud at picking stage, a part of the stem, leaflets, and flowers at various opening stages;

Sheet 2 represents a side-by-side comparison of the flower size, bud size and color of petal between a typical specimen of the present invention, `Seemore` (on the left) and the parent variety, `Odem` (on the right); and

Sheet 3 represents another side-by-side comparison of various flower parts between a typical specimen of the present invention, `Seemore` (on the left) and the parent variety, `Odem` (on the right).

The colors in the drawings are as trueas is reasonably possible in an illustration, depicting green and red colors. The plants illustrated in Sheets 2 and 3 were grown under exactly the same conditions, in a greenhouse, at Moshav Ha'yogev, each on its own roots, and being visibly healthy.
