Miniature rose plant

Abstract

1. A new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant of hardy, dwarf, bushy, upright, much branched habit, as illustrated and described, characterized by buds and flowers which are striped (variegated) in varying proportions of red and white of a color combination resembling Ferdinand Pichard (an older H.P. variety) and a plant habit somewhat taller than broad, the bud and flower form resembling Baby Darling (miniature -- U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,582) and the size similar to New Penny (miniature -- not patented); and further characterized by a plant which is vigorous and compact, the shoots and branches having fairly short internodes, said plant being easy to propagate from cuttings (often blooming in small pot when plant is not over 6 inches tall) with small semi-glossy foliage, an abundance of bloom, with flowers borne singly or several to the stem in loose clusters.
