Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing Rose Parade as seed parent and Easter Morning as pollen parent; characterized by well-formed delicate, creamy ivory-yellow blooms accented by a deep blush pink at the edge of petals and a deep yellow at the point of attachment. Individual flowers are borne singly and in clusters of three. The plant is vigorous and compact, producing abundant blooms which last well on the plant.
