Miniature rose plant named `Savamor`

Abstract

`Savamor` is a miniature rose which can be grown quite satisfactorily in a greenhouse or as a hardy, garden perennial. It blooms continually throughout the growing season with bus and flowers in varying shades of mauve. The rose is most noted for its very strong and pleasant fragrance, similar to that fond in the lilac. Buds are urn-shaped as they start to open unfurling to exhibition form, and are most often borne singly on stems to to 12 inches long but also in sprays, making this plant ideal as both a specimen plant and for cut flowers. The plant grows to about 30 inches or more in height and has medium green, semi-glossy foliage. This variety does need winter protection in severe climates.

The following is claimed: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant of hardy, upright, well branched yet open habit, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized primarily by its very strong, lilac-like fragrance; and by buds and flowers of medium to light mauve coloration, many borne on long stems suitable for use as cut flowers of for exhibition; resembling in size those of `BENalav` except having fewer petals and being lighter in coloration; and further characterized by a plant of vigorous growth making it a good garden perennial or specimen plant, with small to medium sized, semi-glossy foliage, and being easy to propagate from cuttings.
