Hybrid tea rose plant named `Meivamo`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided which abundantly forms elegant long lasting double blossoms which are Poppy Red widely suffused with light Carmine Rose. The new variety originated as a spontaneous mutation of the Keiromo variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,138). The buds are large and of good form. The plant exhibits strong and vigorous vegetation and is well suited for cut flower production. The ability to undergo forcing is excellent particularly during the winter. The plant forms dense and glossy foliage and is not partiuclarly affected by cryptogamic diseases.

I claim:

A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant characterized by the following combination of characteristics: (a) forms in abundance elegant long lasting double blossoms which are Poppy Red widely suffused with light Carmine Rose,   (b) forms blossom petals on mature blooms that tend to enclose the central portion of the blossoms unlike those of the Keiromo variety,   (c) exhibits a growth habit substantially identical to that of the Keiromo variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,138),   (d) is well adapted for greenhouse forcing to produce cut flowers,   (e) exhibits strong and vigorous glossy vegetation, and   (f) is not particularly affected by cryptogamic diseases; substantially as herein shown and described.
