1 claim. (C1 1r- 61) The present discovery relatestoa new and distinct variety of rose plant, originating as a budV sport of the rose fPicture. found by me in the growing elds'of Armstrong Nurseries,v1nc., at Ontario, California. l

'I'he most clearly distinguishing features of this new rose are its vigorous growing or climbing habit, characterized by its strong canes attaining a height of twelve to fourteen feet or moreas compared with the usual-height of three or four feetattained by the bush form of the rose Picture when grown under comparable conditions; its habit` of producing many more flowers in the spring than can be found at rany one time on the bush Variety Picture; and its intermittent flowering during the rest of the season.

In addition to the above distinctions, .the owers of this new variety are usually larger in size and greater in petalase than thel flowers found on the bush fPicture, there being from seven to twelve more petals. `No novelty of the bud or blossom is claimed.

This new variety has been asexually reproduced over a period of years and these characteristics abovenoted have proved to be permanently fixedv throughV budding and grafting.

The illustration accompanying this application shows in Figure 1 oneV years growthrof aspecimengof this new variety of rose plant .together with a yardstick set vup beside itnto indicate its vigorous climbing growth. In 'Figure 2 ofthe drawing is illustrated a specimen flower of this variety. l a I The following is a detailed description of the plant and flower of this new variety of rose plant, all color terminology being in accord with Ridgways Color Standard: .Y Type: Tender to half hardy: tall; climbing;

sport; for cut flowers and garden decoration. Class: Hybrid tea-climbing.

Breeding or discovery:` Sport.

Parent-Picture A a covered on bush rose variety Picturel Propagation: Holds its distinguishing characteristics Vthrough succeeding propagations by grafting and budding.

` Flower Locality where grown: Ontario, California. Flowers borne: Usually singly,v sometimes two or more to stem; in irregular cluster; on strong,

medium to long stems.

Quantity of b1oom: Abundant outdoors. l'

Y Continuity: One seasonto intermittent, f

Fragrance: Moderate; spicy.' t
