.land, .as signor'to Jackson Newa k NK The present invention relates to imp'roveme'nts in hybrid te'airose plants, and .inparticular to a new? and distinct fvariety of "this? class produced by crossing Sir DavidiDavis uand Southport.

The'origination-herein"-disclosed in detail presents a number of distinctions, unusual in character, and important in a rose of this type both botanically and commercially. Among these distinctions, the following are deemed to be primary:

(1) The color of the buds, Pomegranate Purple, changing to Tyrian Red to Rose Red in the half open stage of development of the flower;

(2) The extra large sized flowers; the peculiar formation of one sepal which protrudes almost like a miniature leaf;

(3) The protrusion of the ovaries, causing the seeds to form outside of the seed pod; the Sanfords Brown veining in the Light Green on the under side of the leaf;

(4) And tall narrow upright growth of the plant.

The illustration depicts as closely as possible the characteristics of the rose in the various stages of development.

The following is a detail description of the new variety, color terminology according with Ridgways Color Standard.
