Rose plant

Abstract

There is disclosed a new variety of rose plant, particularly distinguished by its unusual range of color change from light yellowish pink to dark reddish orange of newer flowers to a moderate pink to deep pink and dark reddish orange as the blooms weather and age, a frosty white overlay also then appearing, rather short, full buds with many petals, long strong stems for cut flowers with thick waxy foliage leaflets.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of a distinctly orangey-pink coloring of mature blooms which change to reddish orange as the blooms age, a white overlay appearing as the blooms age, a shorter fuller bud than the present "First Prize", the flowers being larger and more formal with medium length, strong stems, relatively few thorns and heavy, waxy foliage.
