ROSE PLANT Filed Dec. 20, 1960 Propagation:

United States Patent Q 2,109 ROSE PLANT Tennis van der Schilden, Aalsmeer, Netherlands, assignor to Armstrong Nurseries, Inc., Ontario, Calif., a corporation of California Filed Dec. 20, 1960, Ser. No. 77,257 1 Claim. (Cl. 47-61) The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of a class between the hybrid tea and fioribunda classes, which was discovered by me as a cultivated sport of the variety known as Montezuma" (U.S. Plant Patent No. 1,383).

This new variety was discovered by me in my greenhouse at Aalsmeer, Holland, where I was growing plants of the parent variety Montezuma. At the time of my discovery aforementioned, my attention was attracted to one particular plant amongst those of the variety Montezuma by the fact that the plant bore flowers that were brighter and distinctly diiferent in color from the normal flower color of the variety Montezuma. Upon closer examination of this plant, I found that it had sported, and I thereupon took steps to preserve the sport, kept it under observation, and later asexually reproduced the same. My continued observations of the original plant and the asexually reproduced progeny thereof, as produced by me by grafting at Aalsmeer, Holland, and also as performed on my behalf by budding at Ontario, California, U.S.A.,

fully confirmed the new flower characteristics of the sport and conclusively established that these characteristics come true to form and are transmissible through succeeding propagations.

My new variety is essentially distinguished from its parent Montezuma by having a brighter and more distinctly orange tone in the general color tonality of the flowers. The general color elfect of the newly opened flowers of the variety Montezuma is near Geranium Lake, whereas the flowers of my new variety have a general color effect between Mandarin Red and Vermilion in the newly open stage, which later becomes between Vermilion and Scarlet without the usual bluing effect of the flowers of Montezuma and, consequently, resulting in a brighter flower color, and a more orange appearance.

Other than the difference in the color of the flowers of my new variety, as noted in the foregoing, it is substantially identical to its parent Montezuma.

The accompanying drawing shows typical specimens of the flowers and foliage of my new variety in diflerent 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.

In view of the similarities between the new variety and its parent, excepting for the color difference in the flowers, itis unnecessary to describe the new variety in complete detail, since it generally conforms to the description appearing in US. Plant Patent No. 1,383, issued April 19, 1955, to which reference may be readily had. However, for convenience, the following description is given of the flower color and other basic details of the new variety, with color terminology in accordance with Robert F. Wilsons Horticultural Colour Chart:

Type: Bush; outdoor; sport; for cut flowers and for garden decoration.

Class: Between the hybrid tea and flori-bunda classes. Parentage: Sport of Montezuma."

Holds its distinguishing characteristics through succeeding propagations by both grafting and budding.

I claim:

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of a class between the hybrid tea and fioribunda classes, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by being generally similar to its parent variety Montezuma (U.Sf Plant Patent No. 1,383), but being essentially distinguished therefrom by a brighter and more distinctly orange tone in the general color tonality of its flowers, said general color tonality being between Mandarin Red and Vermilion in the newly open flower stage and later becoming between Vermilion and Scarlet, without the usual bluing elfect of the flowers of Montezuma and, consequently, resulting in a brighter flower color and a more orange appearance.
