Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
The following is claimed: 1. A new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant name `Madeline Spezzano` of hardy dwarf, vigorous growth, attractive appearance, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by its abundance of blooms ranging in color from pale Carmine Rose to Porcelain Rose with hybrid tea-type form. The blooms and foliage are slightly larger than average size for a miniature rose; I have found this variety to be easily asexually reproduced from cuttings, with flowers borne usually one to a stem, but occasionally in sprays of 3 to 5 or more.
