Hybrid tea rose plant cv. Aromiclea

Abstract

A new hybrid tea rose for garden decoration, having as its seed parent an undisseminated seedling of the cross [Camelot (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,371)× First Prize (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,774)] ×Typhoo Tea (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,845), and as its pollen parent, Lolita. The plant is a tall, very hardy outdoor seedling of the bush type, producing an abundance of large, sweetly scented blossoms that open yellow and peachy-orange, then develop a scarlet blush. The flowers' long, strong stems and urn-shaped buds make them very suitable for cutting. The plant's nearly continual bloom, unusually heavy, leathery and very glossy foliage, and well-branched habit make it an attractive garden plant, and its above-average vigor and superb disease resistance make it a low-maintenance plant, ideal for landscaping.

I claim: 
     
       1. The new and distinct variety of hybrid tea rose plant cv. Aromiclea and the parts thereof, substantially as shown and described herein, the plant being particularly characterized by its large blossoms of a unique chatoyant orange coloration, essentially as described and illustrated herein; its sweet, moderately spicy to fruity fragrance, long, strong stems, urn-shaped buds, and attractive flower finish; its unusually heavy, leathery and very glossy foliage; its nearly continual bloom and well-branched habit; and its vigor, above-average hardiness, and well-above-average disease resistance.
