A new variety of rose plant of the Hybrid Tea class, being a half-hardy, outdoor, tall bush seedling, particularly adapted for garden decoration and which produces large pointed buds and large, slow-opening, long-lasting blooms on long, strong cutting stems. In contrast to other yellow roses, its clear yellow coloration lasts well throughout the life of the bloom.
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 by large pointed buds that are usually produced singly on long strong stems; its clear yellow coloration lasts throughout the life of the bloom and longer than most other yellow roses; its large blooms open very slowly and are uniquely (for yellow rose cultivars) long-lasting in the garden and in the vase; it is significantly more vigorous than most other yellow roses and provides an attractive, easy-to-grow garden specimen; its flowering stems are long and low-thorned, and it has an abundance of large foliage during the growing season.
