Abstract

‘SAVasalute’ is a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant primarily identified by its dark red, non fading flowers of exhibition, hybrid tea form on straight stems held above the plant making them ideal for cutting. Fragrance is so slight as to be of no significance. Its dark green, semi-glossy foliage has shown very good disease resistance in national, outside testing. ‘SAVasalute’ is hardy at least to zone 4 and heat tolerant at least to zone 9.
