Abstract
A new hybrid tea rose for cut flowers and garden decoration, having as its seed parent Zorina (U.S. Plant. Pat. No. 2,321) and as its pollen parent Yankee Doodle (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,957). The new cultivar produces an abundance of orange blended flowers, has very vigorous growth, is easy to grow, and has well-above-average disease resistance. Its nearly continual production of long-lasting flowers borne on cutting-length stems lend it well to providing bouquets for the home, and its bushy habit and abundant foliage make it an attractive plant in the garden.
