Hybrid miniature rose plant cv. Arogobi

Abstract

An upright to spreading rose plant of the hybrid miniature class, having a more-than-average resistance to mildew and rust, and producing an abundance of large, well-formed buds and flowers of a bicolor orange coloration, the darker color being carried on the outside surface of the petals, rather than on the inside surface as is usual among bicolor roses. Bloom production is nearly continuous throughout the growing season. The plant bears attractive, semi-glossy foliage which is relatively large for the class and bears very few prickles on its canes and stems.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid miniature class, substantially as herein shown and described, being especially characterized in the unique bicolor orange coloration of its flowers, essentially as described and illustrated herein, in which the darker of the two colors is carried on the outside surface of the petals, unlike most bicolor roses, in which the darker color is carried on the inside surface of the petals; its large, well-formed buds and blooms borne on a low-growing bush; its very low incidence of prickles on the canes and stems; and its attractive, semi-glossy foliage, which is relatively large for the class.
