United States Patent O Eugene S. Boerner, Newark, N. Y., assignor to Jackson & Perkins Company, Newark, N. Y., a corporation of New York Application April 19, 1954, Serial No. 424,286

1 Claim. (Cl. 47-61) The present invention relates to a new and distinct The primary objective of this cross was to produce a new variety of rose plant having vigorous-growing and free-blooming habits, and which bears flowers of a new and distinctive color. The unnamed seedling, above referred to, was selected as one of the parents of my new variety by reason of the fact that it is characterized by its free production of flowers of very fine shape, but the plant of that variety is relatively small and the color of its flowers is not attractive. However, by cross ing that variety with the variety Serenade, my objectives were fully achieved, as evidenced by the vigorous habit of growth of the plants of my new variety, the large size and abundance of its flowers, and the richness, intensity and distinctiveness of the flower color, which, in the case of the buds, is Rose Red, lightly overcast with Jasper Red, while in the case of the fully open blooms, the inside surfaces of the petals are Ochraceous Salmon lightly overcast with Mikado Orange and Eugenia Red, and the outside surfaces of the petals are Eugenia Red lightly overcast with Coral Red. The general color tonality of the flowers of my new variety, as observed from a distance, is Ochraceous Salmon, lightly overcast with Mikado Orange. The vigorous habit of growth of the plants of my new variety is quite unusual and unique in the case of rose plants which bear flowers in this color range.

The foregoing characteristics definitely distinguish my new variety from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of its class.

Asexual reproduction of the new variety, as performed The accompanying drawing shows typical specimens of the flowers, stems and foliage of my 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.
