Hybrid Tea rose plant named `Spekes`

#The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Hybrid Tea class which was originated by me by discovering a color mutation in the variety KORcrisette, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,043.

#This mutation was found in a planting of KORcrisette and was recognized as distinct and novel. It was propagated and tested and found to be the same in all respects to KORcrisette except for flower color. The characteristics that are outstanding in this new variety and that distinguish it from its parent, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:

#Instead of having a main flower color of Orange-Red Group 33A, as KORcrisette, it has flower color Red Group 45B.

#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, together with a typical flower from KORcrisette which appears immediately above the legend SPEkes and displays the Orange-Red Group 33A color of a KORcrisette flower.

#The following is a detailed description of my new rose cultivar with color descriptions using terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society (London) Colour Chart, except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated.

#Parentage: A mutation of the variety KORcrisette, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,043.
