Miniature moss rose plant

Abstract

A dwarf bush rose of the hybrid miniature moss rose class. The plant has many moss-scented stipitate glands on its penduncles, buds, sepals and hips, and blooms almost continuously throughout the growing season. The overall color effect of the flowers is a deep velvety red. There are from about 40 to about 50 relatively broad petals in the flower, with from 7 to 20 petaloids. The plant manifests a better-than-average resistance to mildew, as compared to roses of its class under parallel conditions.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new variety of bush rose of the hybrid miniature moss class, substantially as illustrated and described herein, being particularly characterized by a combination of features including the bearing of many moss-scented stipitate glands on its peduncles, buds, sepals and hips; by the coloration of its flowers, which are of a deep velvety red color, and open relatively slowly with a high pointed center; the petalage of its blooms, which have from about 40 to about 50 petals plus about 7 to 20 petaloids; and the tendency to bloom throughout the growing season.
