Rose plant

#The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing as seed parent the rose known as "Rise 'N Shine" and the rose known as "Sheri Anne" as pollen parent.

#Among the novel characteristics possessed by this new variety which distinguish it from its parents and all other varieties of which I am aware are its unique coloring and classic hybrid tea form with most blooms produced one to a stem in a manner typical of hybrid tea plants. Asexual reproduction by budding of the new variety as performed in Essex County, Mass., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.

#The new and improved rose variety which I have developed is an unusually fine miniature rose of unique salmon or carrot red coloring with singly-borne blooms of high centered, hybrid-tea like form. The flowers are unusually well formed, for a miniature rose and the singly borne flowers are well suited for cutting.

#The accompanying drawing shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of the new variety in different stages of development and is depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustration of this character.

#The following is a detailed description of my new variety, with color terminology in accordance with the Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart (RHSCC). The terminology used in color description herein refers to plate numbers in the aforementioned color chart, e.g., "27A" is plate 27A of the Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart.

#Parentage: Seedling.

#Seed parent.--"Rise 'N Shine".
