Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided which continually bears very large attractive fully double rich orange-red blossoms on strong sturdy stems. Such robust blossoms further can be characterized by their distinctive outstanding fragrance which is heady and somewhat fruity in nature. Accordingly, the present variety can be relied upon to give a colorful and fragrant garden display from spring to the first frost of fall. The new variety resulted from the crossing of the Fragrant Cloud variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,574) and the Oklahoma variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,326).
