Abstract
A new hybrid tea rose of the tall bush type, cultivated for garden decoration. The new cultivar bears unusually colored yellow-green flowers with light touches of soft pink. Its blossoms are extremely long-lived in the garden, often lasting over seven days. The yellow-green flower coloration intensifies as the blossoms age on the bush. Flowers are produced on long, cutting-length stems. The plant bears an abundance of dark green, semi-glossy leathery foliage and displays an above-average resistance to mildew, rust and blackspot.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, essentially as described and illustrated herein, being particularly characterized by the unusual coloration of its flowers, yellow-green with light touches of soft pink; the extremely long life--often more than seven days--of its flowers in the garden; the intensifying of its yellow-green flower coloration as the blossoms age on the bush; the plant's inability to set hips, which insures continual flower production under Ontario, Calif. growing conditions during the blooming period without requiring the removal of dead blooms; its abundant, dark green, semi-glossy leathery foliage; and its long cutting stems and upright growth.
