Summary397 words

#The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of hardy, dwarf, bush type rose plant of the miniature class. The cultivar being primarily characterized—as to novelty by its near white with deeply pink edged petal color and classic hybrid tea formed double flowers.

#The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the near white with deeply pink edged petal color, being a blend of the colors of the parent plants, combined with the very good classic formed flowers of the seed parent ‘TALfairhope’, a non-patented exhibition type miniature rose. The objective was substantially achieved, along with other desirable improvements, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics that are outstanding in the new variety and that distinguish it from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:

#1. Miniature, classic hybrid tea type exhibition, flowers usually borne singly or in small clusters to the stem.
