Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant primarily identified by its bright red coloring, excellent bud form and vigorous plant habit.

The following is claimed: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant of hardy, dwarf, bushy, rounded to upright, much branched habit, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by buds and flowers which resemble Sheri Anne (miniature -- U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,826) in form and color, the flowers of the present variety being born usually in loose sprays on relatively long stems (sometimes born singly) suitable for cutting, the flowers retaining good color and quality for several days as cut flowers; and further characterized by a vigorous healthy plant with semi-glossy to matt foliage, the plant being easy to propagate from softwood cuttings and by budding.
