Rose plant--Meigandor variety

Abstract

A rose-plant of the Floribunda Class is provided having double flowers which are of orpiment color on the inside and yellow on the outside. The seed parent of the new variety was obtained by the crossing of the variety Sweet Promise (known in the United States as Sonia) and the variety Golden garnette. The pollen parent of the new variety resulted from the crossing of the variety Meialfi and the variety Meifan to form a first plant which was crossed with the variety King's ransom to form a second plant which in turn was crossed with the variety Whisky mac.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Floribunda rose-plant characterized by the fact that from the physical point of view, the plant with light green adult wood is erect, produces double flowers which are of orpiment color on the inside and yellow on the outside, has rounded petals which are leathery in texture, and dull foliage which is relatively ample and moderately dense; and   from the biological point of view has vigorous vegetation, a great tendency to force, produces flowers of long duration both when cut and on the plant, and average resistance to disease; substantially as shown and described.
