A red rose plant intended for greenhouse culture for the production of cut flowers, originated as a seedling of Red American Beauty (P.P. 1,982) crossed with Forever Yours (P.P. 2,443), the new plant being distinguished by its vigorous growth and free, continuous production of very large flowers having a brilliant red color which is an improvement over both parents. This new plant crops more uniformly than its seed parent and has a better flower form, it has the cropping characteristics of its pollen parent and has more shoots borne on slightly shorter stems.
A new and distinct red rose cultivar substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by the brilliant red color of its very large blossoms, its vigorous habit of growth, its retention of the good cropping characteristics of its pollen parent, and its improved flower form over that of its seed parent.

My new rose plant was developed by me at Richmond, Ind., by crossing Red American Beauty with Forever Yours in the Spring of 1966 with the object of maintaining the good cropping and productivity of the parents while improving the flower form and color of both parents. The first flower of the new plant was found by me in the Spring of 1967 and because it appeared to have the improved characteristics which I sought, the new plant was reproduced by me by grafting at Richmond, Ind. Succeeding generations of this new plant, propagated by grafting at Richmond, Ind., and by budding at Livermore, Calif., have demonstrated that its novel and distinguishing characteristics hold true from generation to generation and are firmly fixed.
My new variety of rose plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which, in full color, shows a fully opened flower and three stages of the buds, typical leaves, a specimen of young wood with leaves and a piece of old stem, the colors shown being as nearly true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The following is a detailed description of the new plant from observations of greenhouse plants made at Richmond, Ind., the color descriptions being according to the Horticultural Colour Chart (HCC), produced by Robert S. Wilson in collaboration with the British Colour Council, or the Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (RHS), published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.
Origin: Seedling.
