Hybrid tea rose plant named `Delego`

#The new variety of Hybrid Tea Rose plant was created by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was an unnamed seedling. The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) resulted from the crossing of the `Deladel` variety (U.S. Pat. No. P.P. 4,391) with the `Korpek` variety (non-patented in the United States). The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows

#Unnamed Seedling.times.(`Deladel`.times.`Korpek`).

#The seeds resulting from the above pollination were sown and 255 small plantlets were obtained which were physically and biologically different from each other. Selective study resulted in the identification of a single plant of the new variety.

#The accompanying photograph shows as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character typical specimens of the plant parts of the new variety. The rose plants of the new variety were grown under glass in the South of France.

#The chart used in the identification of the colors is that of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S. Colour Chart). The description is based on the observation of plants grown under glass in the South of France. The coloration in common terms sometimes also is provided.
