Rose plant

Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant characterized by its buds and flowers of rich deep yellow color, borne in abundance throughout the growing season, and further characterized by the bushy upright plant, well branched from the base, which is easy to propagate from cuttings.

The following is claimed: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant of hardy, dwarf, bushy, upright, much branched habit substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by buds and flowers which are generally of a clear yellow color, the center of opening buds and flowers at times tending to be deeper yellow (or gold yellow); with buds and flowers being similar in size and shape to Bit O'Sunshine (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,631, expired) but having more petals; and further characterized by a plant similar to Yellow Magic (miniature, not patented) which is vigorous and compact, the shoots and branches having fairly short internodes, said plant being easy to propagate from cuttings; and having an abundance of semi-glossy to matt foliage, with flowers borne singly or several to the stem in loose clusters.
