This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant primarily identified by its vigorous growth habit and the abundance of rose pink buds and flowers.

The following is claimed: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant of hardy, dwarf, bushy, rounded, much branched habit, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by buds and flowers of exhibition form, essentially pink to rose pink in color and resembling Mary Marshall (miniature--U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,346) in bud and flower form but being somewhat larger in size; and further characterized by a plant of compact well rounded shape with above average vigor, the said plant being easy to propagate from cuttings or by budding, with an abundance of small semi-glossy to matte foliage and an abundance of flowers borne singly or several to the stem in loose clusters.
