Abstract
A new variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, being a tall, bushy, half-hardy outdoor seedling, particularly adapted for garden decoration. This new rose cultivar is unique and distinguishable from existing rose cultivars by the following combination of characteristics: its extremely large foliage attractively clothes the plant, covering unsightly stems; the inside of each petal is very velvety, lending an effect of iridescence to the red coloration; the deep red coloration is relatively uniform throughout the life of the flower; its flowers are very slow opening both on the plant and in the vase; and its abundant production of strong, long-stemmed flowers well lend the variety for cutting.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
We claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, substantially as herein shown and described, being particularly characterized in its extremely large foliage; its very velvety texture on the inside of each petal; its uniform red coloration throughout the flower life; its slow opening; and its abundant production of long-stemmed flowers.
