Miniature rose plant named `Proud Heritage`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing Little Rascal as seed parent and Chris Jolly as pollen parent; characterized by its strong upright growing habit and deep crimson red, well-formed blooms which do not fade or lose their strong substance when cut.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, substantially as shown and described, characterized particularly by dark crimson well-formed blooms that hold their color throughout the life of the flower; strong upright growing plant, taller than the average miniature with well-formed 2" flowers that cover the complete plant.
