Floribunda rose plant named Smooth Talk

#The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Floribunda rose class, which was originated by my crossing as seed and pollen parents, two unnamed, unpatented seedlings of my creation. The varietal denomination of this new rose is "Smooth Talk".

#Among the novel characteristics possessed by this new variety which distinguishes it from its parents and all other varieties of which I am aware are the bright white flowers of good form borne on a plant with attractive contrasting dark green foliage. The flowers which are relatively large for a Floribunda, open well, and become ruffled at maturity.

#The new variety is a Floribunda rose that produces many blooms throughout the growing season and is useful for mass color effectiveness. The white coloring is bright and contrast well against attractive green foliage which covers the plant to the base. The flowers display their stamens when fully open, adding to their attractiveness.

#The accompanying drawing shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of the new variety in different stages of development and as depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a 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 Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.). The terminology used in color description herein refers to plate numbers in the aforementioned color chart, e.g., "145B" is plate 145B of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.

#Parentage: Seedling.

#Seed parent.--Unnamed, unpatented seedling.
