This discovery relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant, originating as a sport of the Variety Starlite (Pl. Pat. No. 414) and differing therefrom primarily in its smaller size bloom and more prolific production of these k blooms.

This new rose further differs from its parent in that it produces a lesser number of petals and has a better opening characteristic.

Still further differences reside in the fiat base form of the thorns, the Yellowish Oil Green color of the new foliage with edges and serrations of Oxblood Red, and the Cedar Green upper surface and Light Elm Green color of the under surface of the old foliage.

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

In the accompanying drawings are illustrated, as nearly accurate as possible to reproduce, specimens of the new variety at different stages of development of the blooms from bud to full blown flowers, and on a reduced scale.

The following is a detailed description of the new variety, color terminology being in accordance with Ridgways Color Standards and Nomenclature:
