Rose plant named De Vink

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of greenhouse floribunda rose plant which originated as a sport of the variety "Mary DeVor" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,838) and is particularly distinguished by the fuchsia purple color of its flowers which sharply contrasts with the cardinal red color of the blooms of the parent plant. This new rose plant variety retains the parent plant advantages of profuse year around flowering, the relatively small size of the flowers which are supported by strong flower stems, and the long lasting character of the blooms both on the plant and as cut flowers, all of which provides an excellent variety for cut flower production.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct rose plant, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly by its fuchsia purple flowers, its profuse and continuous production of flowers of relatively small size, its rapid growth rate, and its vigorous, upright growth habit.
