No cultivar name of record
This patent does not name the plant. Through the 1980s and early 1990s that was still common: naming every new cultivar only became standard practice as plants began to be marketed under brand names. The grant identifies this one by its number and by a written description instead.
Nothing here is missing from our records: the patent itself states no name. Where one exists we show it, and we do not invent one.
Abstract
A new hybrid tea rose for cut flowers, having as its seed parent Red Success, and as its pollen parent, Royalty (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,057). The plant is a tall greenhouse seedling of the bush type, producing an abundance of large, strongly tea-scented blossoms that are deep red in color. The flowers' long, strong stems and urn-shaped buds make them very suitable for cutting. The plants bloom continually in the greenhouse throughout the year. Blossoms on long stems cut from plants of the new variety grown in a greenhouse last at living room temperatures for 6 to 7 days.
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 hybrid tea rose plant cv. Aroreroy, the parts and asexual reproduction thereof, the plant being particularly characterized by its large urn-shaped buds of an even-toned red color, borne on long, strong stems, which make its strongly tea scented flowers very suitable for cutting, essentially as described and illustrated herein.
