Rose plant--Maribell variety

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided which abundantly forms attractive biocolored double flowers which are primarily deep red on the inside and white with red shadings which intensify uniformly towards the margins of the petals on the outside. Such flowers are long lasting and comprise petals which detach cleanly. The plant exhibits an upright growth, forms semivigorous vegetation, and is well suited for greenhouse forcing for cut flower production. Additionally, the plant is not particularly susceptible to diseases.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of hybrid tea rose plant characterized by the following combination of characteristics: (a) from a physical point of view forms bronze green mature wood, assumes an upright growth habit, and forms attractive double flowers having consistent petals which are primarily deep on the inside and white with red shadings which intensify uniformly towards the margins of the petals on the outside, and   (b) from the biological point of view forms semivigorous vegetation, produces flowers in abundance, exhibits the ability readily to be forced, is not particularly susceptible to diseases, and forms long lasting flowers comprising petals which detach cleanly; substantially as herein shown and described.
