Rose plant

A new miniature rose variety of orange red and yellow coloring borne singly and in large sprays.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant 
of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing as seed 
parent the rose known as "Rise 'N Shine" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,231) and 
the rose known as "Sheri Anne" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,826) as pollen 
parent. 
Among the novel characteristics possessed by this new variety which 
distinguish it from its parents and all other varieties of which I am 
aware are flowers of unusual multi-coloring borne singly and in large 
sprays. Flowers are yellow and orange red with darker orange red colored 
distinct petal edge section and pale yellow lower petal section toward 
point of attachment. The orange red color darkens before fading. Asexual 
reproduction by budding of the new variety as performed in Essex County, 
Mass., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics 
come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding 
propagations.
