Hybrid tea rose plant vc. Macauck

Abstract

A new hybrid red tea rose for cut flowers and garden decoration, having as its seed parent Red Planet and as its pollen parent Pharoah, Plant Pat. No. 2825. The new cultivar produces nearly continual, abundant, brilliant and lasting long-stemmed red flowers with a heavy petal substance lending to their longer-than-average longevity, both in the garden and in the vase. The cultivar exhibits consistent vigor and bloom performance under a wide range of climatic conditions and has above-average disease resistance under Ontario, California, growing conditions.

I claim:
