A new hybrid red tea rose for cut flowers and garden decoration, having as its seed parent Red Planet and as its pollen parent Pharoah, Plant Pat. No. 2825. The new cultivar produces nearly continual, abundant, brilliant and lasting long-stemmed red flowers with a heavy petal substance lending to their longer-than-average longevity, both in the garden and in the vase. The cultivar exhibits consistent vigor and bloom performance under a wide range of climatic conditions and has above-average disease resistance under Ontario, California, growing conditions.

Rose plant

A Hybrid Tea rose of medium height raised as an outdoor seedling for garden decoration. It is moderately hardy according to tests conducted by All-American Rose Selections, Inc. It has more than average resistance to mildew. It has an upright-spreading growth habit and produces blooms almost continuously during the growing season. The blooms have a strong fragrance suggesting a blend of citrus and spice. Their color is coral-salmon. The flowers are borne generally on single medium-length strong stems.

A low-growing hardy bush rose of the Floribunda type, raised as an outdoor seedling for garden decoration. The plant is bushy and vigorous, blooming almost continuously during the growing season. No evidence of susceptability to mildew has been observed, with respect to plants grown in Southern California. The peduncles have numerous stipitate glands and numerous fine hairs. The blooms are produced freely to abundantly and are double in character, numbering from 35-45 petals plus 3-8 petaloids. The bloom is a rich orange scarlet and it manifests an unusual degree of color stability, showing very little change or fading from the opening of the bud until the petals fall. It has a slight fruity fragrance.

A tall outdoor bush rose plant of the Grandiflora class, having a vigorous much-branched habit of growth and carrying strong, short to medium length flowering stems, sometimes with one bloom or sometimes with three or more blooms to the stem. Resistance to mildew is significantly better than with plants of the same genus under comparable conditions. The general color effect is between brilliant yellow and moderate orange yellow when the flower is freshly opened. This lightens to generally lighter tones of the same shading after the flower has been open for several days. Blooms have a slight pollen fragrance.
