v Application June l, 1939, Serial No. 276,920

1 Claim. (01. 47-61) The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant produced by crossing of certain known varieties having desirable characteristics of particular value in the combination- 5 obtained. I

Of primary importance to the combination is the depth of color of the blossoms, a very dark Maroon to Ox -blood Red, persisting to the very end of the flowering. When the sepals first divide, the buds present the Maroon color, and when half opened the coloring appears as Burnt Lake to Maroon, which with the thick petals, satiny on the inside and shiny on the outside, makes for distinct attractiveness of the rose.

In addition to the foregoing, the large size of the fiower,approximately five inches in diameter,-and the average petalage of 35, are notable features.

These flowers mostly individual and high centered are borne on medium length strong stems, and retain their form to the end.

The young foliage of the plant is of Hays Maroon on the upper side while the new wood is Vandyke Red and the old wood Cress Green color, 25 thus producing a subdued and dignified color combination.

This new rose has been asexually reproduced and its characteristics as stated found to be fixed. The following is a detailed description of the new variety, the color terminology being in accord with Ridgways color standard:
