Rose plant seedling No. 71-86L

Abstract

A new variety of rose plant developed for commercial greenhouse culture and the commercial production of cut flowers, particularly distinguished by its abundant year around production of medium large flowers having an unusual lavender color and a strong tea fragrance. This new plant is a floribunda having a free and vigorous growth habit, one to three buds being borne on a strong stem of medium length which may be commercially disbudded to present a single blossom having a strong, erect peduncle of medium length.

I claim:
