Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Miniature rose plant is provided having very attractive petite double flowers which are white with a light pink blush. The new variety resulted from the crossing of the Ma Perkins variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,143) and the Easter Morning variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,177). This new variety is extremely floriferous during the entire growing season making it particularly well suited for use in parks and gardens. The plant commonly achieves a height of only approximately 8 to 12 inches.
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 Miniature rose plant, substantially as illustrated and described, wherein: (a) from the physical standpoint the plant with light green adult wood has a low compact growth habit, and forms clusters of very double white flowers which often have a pink blush toward the center; and (b) from the biological standpoint the plant has vigorous and regular vegetation, and exhibits an abundant and repeated florescence throughout the growing season thereby creating a substantially constant floral display.
