No cultivar name of record
This patent does not name the plant. Through the 1980s and early 1990s that was still common: naming every new cultivar only became standard practice as plants began to be marketed under brand names. The grant identifies this one by its number and by a written description instead.
Nothing here is missing from our records: the patent itself states no name. Where one exists we show it, and we do not invent one.
Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided which particularly is suited for growing under glass to produce highly attractive cut flowers. The double blossoms exhibit an elegant appearance and are of a unique light cream yellow coloration which is lightly margined with luminous pink. The blossoms advantageously exhibit a very long vase life and the petals detach cleanly.
