Miniature rose plant -- Poulfi variety

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class is provided which originated by crossing an unnamed and unpatented Miniature rose seedling with the variety Harriet Poulsen (unpatented) of the Floribunda Class. This new variety has a dwarf growth habit and abundantly forms attractive bright fluorescent pink flowers which are semi-double and borne in clusters. Plants of the new variety are particularly suited for growing in planters or window boxes and also are well adapted to greenhouse forcing.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the Miniature Class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly by (a) a micromini growth habit which forms a low and compact plant, (b) the exhibition of more plant vigor than an average rose plant of the Miniature Class, (c) the formation of buds which are relatively long in configuration, and (d) the abundant formation of clusters of semi-double bright fluorescent pink flowers.
