Hybrid tea rose plant named `Delego`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided that abundantly forms attractive double flowers that are velvet red in coloration. Such flowers are long lasting and possess petals that detach cleanly. The plant exhibits an upright to bushy growth habit, forms semi-vigorous to vigorous vegetation, and is particularly well suited for greenhouse forcing for cut flower production. Additionally, the plant is very resistant to diseases when grown under greenhouse conditions and when grown outside in the garden.

I claim:

A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant characterized by the following combination of characteristics: (a) from a physical point of view it forms green mature wood, assumes an upright to bushy growth habit, and forms attractive long-lasting velvet red flowers having consistent petals which detach cleanly, and   (b) from the biological point of view forms semi-vigorous to vigorous vegetation, produces flowers in abundance, exhibits the ability readily to be forced, and is very resistant to diseases when grown under greenhouse conditions and when grown outside; substantially as herein shown and described.
