Grapevine, "American Rose"

Abstract

A new and distinct grapevine, denominated varietally as the "American Rose" which is characterized as to novelty by producing berries which have a noteworthy firm texture and which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately September 15 to October 15 at Fowler, Calif., and which furthermore produces seeded berries which have an attractive reddish brown skin color with a greenish white halo.

Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of grapevine, I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of grapevine to be denominated varietally as the "American Rose" substantially as illustrated and described and which is characterized principally as to novelty by its production of a seeded substantially reddish brown colored berry which is mature for harvesting and shipment approximately September 15 through October 15 in Fresno County, Calif., said grapevines maturing in approximately the same season as the Emperior, Ribier and Queen varieties of grapevines (all unpatented) with which it is remotely related in its date of harvesting but from which it is distinguished therefrom and characterized principally as to novelty by producing berries which have a noteworthy firm texture, good eating qualities and a large size, and which further has an attractive reddish brown skin coloration with a greenish white halo, the vines of the subject variety further producing leaves which typically have a width dimension greater than the length dimension.
