Rose plant Peamight

#The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the climbing class, which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed variety with an unnamed variety.

#The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety of the climbing class with unique color of flower, good foliage and vigorous growth. This objective was substantially achieved, along with other desirable improvements, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics which are outstanding in the new variety and which distinguish it from its parent as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware. For example, this new rose variety has:

#1. Coral pink to pink flower color;

#The accompanying illustration shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of this new variety in different stages of development, 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 rose variety, which has been denominated "PEAMIGHT". Color terminology is in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where an ordinary dictionary significant for the color is apparent.

#Observations of the buds and flowers were made from specimens grown in a greenhouse environment in November at Somis, Calif.

#The blooming habit is recurrent. The bud size is one and one-half inches when the petals start to unfurl. The bud form is pointed ovoid. The bud color when sepals first divide is near Orange-Red Group 35A. When half blown, the upper side of petals is near Red Group 39C. The lower side of petals is near Red Group 39C. The sepals have a color near Yellow-Green Group 147B. The outside surface texture of the sepals is smooth and glabrous. There are three normally appendaged sepals, and two unappendaged sepals with a hairy edge. The receptacle color is near Green Group 138B and has an apple shape, broad size and smooth surface. The peduncle is short in length and has a smooth surface. Peduncle color is light green and the peduncle is stiff and erect.
