The presen invention relates Q to anew and distinct variety of rose p1ant,-originated by cross- 'ing' an unnamed seedlingpink oi-color andpossessing' a .number of" good characteristics, but not quite sumcient for commercial purposes, withthe well-knownvariety chieftain.

This newrvariety constitutes a much improved and commercially desirable rose, characterized as to novelty by its strong, vigorous growth, easily reaching four feet and more, its freedom of blooming equal to or better than the pink Radiance, the pointed bud form and still neck, unusual in such a vigorous plant, and the very attractive color combination of the open flower, shown clearly in the accompanying drawing,

Asexual reproduction shows that these characteristics hold true through succeeding propagations.
