1 Claim.

This discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of hybrid tea rose plant, a sport of a Joanna Hill rose, grown and observed by me, and an excellent greenhouse forcing variety like 5 its parent, which was originated by E. G. Hill.

In habits, growth, and other respects, this new rose resembles the Joanna Hill rose, but as to color it is essentially distinct therefrom. This color is somewhat similar to the old rose Perle des Jardin, but even more attractive and bril liant.
