Rose plant

Abstract

A new hybrid tea rose of the tall bush type, tender to semihardy, raised as an outdoor seedling and useful primarily for garden decoration. The most notable characteristic is the bicolor nature of the blooms which have a general color effect between orange and yellow, usually with 25 to 35 petals plus 1-5 petaloids, and a color reverse, especially on the outer petals. The color changes from reddish orange to yellowish pink as the flower matures.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of hybrid tea rose, substantially as described and illustrated herein, and having a tall upright bushy habit of growth, with medium size to large glossy foliage and smooth erect peduncles, the variety being characterized especially in the bicolored flowers which it bears, these comprising petals of an orange color on their inner surfaces and a yellow reverse on their outer surfaces, said flowers having from 25 to 35 petals and from 1 to 5 petaloids disposed about approximately 90 pistils.
