Rose plant

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the climbing rose class, which was originated by my crossing Tropicana Climber as seed parent and Swarthmore as pollen parent; characterized by bright orange-red hybrid tea blooms with dark velvet overtones on the inner petals of the open flower, produced on a vigorous-growing, disease resistant climbing shrub with everblooming habit and outstanding winter hardiness.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the climber class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by its vigorous habit of growth, its good hardiness, its abundant and attractive foliage, its very good remontance, its habit of producing excellent formed blooms singly on long-stemmed canes and in clusters, the strong and appealing fragrance of its blooms, and the general color tonality of the flowers is bright orange-red, with dark velvet overtones on the inner petals of the open flower.
