Miniature moss rose plant

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid miniature moss rose, bearing many moss-scented stipitate glands on its stems, peduncles, buds and sepals. The plant grows vigorously, is hardy, and blooms almost continuously throughout the growing season. It is fairly large, in comparison to roses of the miniature class generally. Its blooms are medium pink in color, and have very double petalage, with from 25 to 60 petals and from 1 to 8 petaloids. It has viable pollen and will set hips when grown under greenhouse conditions. It has a better-than-average resistance to mildew, as compared to other roses of its class, grown under parallel conditions.

I claim: 
     
       1. A hybrid miniature moss rose plant substantially as herein illustrated and described, being particularly characterized by a combination of features, including the presence of many moss-scented stipitate glands on its stems, peduncles and sepals, the vigor of its growth habit and its ability to bloom almost continuously throughout the growing season, the very double petalage of its blooms, comprised of from 25 to 60 petals, plus 1 to 8 petaloids, and the generally pink coloration of its blooms.
