Little Starburst rose plant

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing an unnamed seedling of Prominent as seed parent and Rise 'n Shine as pollen parent; characterized by striking deep yellow flowers highlighted by a deep orange-red wash at the tip and point of recurl, resulting in a fiery effect. The exceptionally fragrant flowers are borne singly on long, strong cutting canes on this upright, spreading, and vigorous growing plant.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, substantially as shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by elegantly tapered buds opening to high-centered deep yellow flowers bleeding to a bright orange-red at the tip and point of recurl; its large, medium-green foliage; its exceptional fragrance; its habit of producing blooms singly on long, strong cutting canes; its vigorous habit of growth and hardiness; and particularly good holding quality resulting from the unique, heavy texture of the petals.
