Rose plant

Abstract

A new rose variety is disclosed in the hybrid tea class, whose flowers have exceptionally large individual petals and the number of petals on each flower is greater than the usual tea rose, resulting in much more rounded buds, the petals being translucent and creating an almost silken effect, the flowers hold longer than the parents and the canes are less thorny.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Rose plant of the hybrid tea class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of a very large cherry pink to a rosey red bloom, the bloom comprising exceptionally large individual petals, with a large quantity of petals, the large quantity and size of petals providing a much more rounded large bud, the petals being translucent and appearing to be almost silken and of great substance, the ability to hold longer as a garden flower and cut rose, and the plant being less leggy and open with fewer thorns and more waxy foliage leaflets.
