Hybrid Tea rose plant named `Selgallia`

A new rose variety of the Hybrid Tea class, characterized by its continuous good production of apricot colored flowers having good bud size in relation to the size of the stem, said flowers being borne singly on upright stems on a bush of medium height (100-130 cm.), and that is especially well suited for growing in mountainous countries (typical growth conditions such as light intensity, day length, and seasonal effects), such as in Latin America. The cultivar is grown mainly under cover.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant 
of the Hybrid Tea class, which was discovered by me as being a naturally 
occurring mutant of the variety `Marjan`. 
The primary objective of this breeding was to obtain a new large type rose 
having good bud size in relation to its stem, in different colors. Among 
the novel characteristics possessed by the new variety which distinguish 
it from its parent and all other varieties of which I am aware are: 
(1) The apricot color of the flower. 
The other distinctive characteristics, which distinguish it from all other 
varieties of which I am aware, already possessed by its parent are 
retained: 
(2) A very large flower and flower bud. 
(3) Rapid flowering cycles. 
(4) Suitabiliy for growing in Latin America. 
(5) Good bud size in relation to its stem length. 
Asexual reproduction of the new rose variety by cutting and grafting using 
R. canina `Inermis` as rootstock, as performed in a greenhouse in Quito, 
Ecuador, shows that the aforementioned characteristics and distinctions 
come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding 
propagations.
