Miniature rose plant--Wildak variety

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Miniature rose plant is provided having highly attractive double flowers which exhibit a blend of orange and yellow tones. The new variety resulted from the crossing of the Zorina variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,321) and the Starina variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,646). The buds of the new variety are perfectly formed and blossom into gracefully shaped blooms of approximately one and one-half inches. The variety also forces well and performs well outdoors.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Miniature rose plant, substantially as illustrated and described, wherein: (a) from the physical standpoint the plant with medium green adult wood has a semi-erect growth habit, forms dark green glossy leaves, and forms double flowers which exhibit a blend of orange and yellow tones with a pinkish accent at the flower center; and   (b) from the biological standpoint the plant has vigorous and regular vegetation, exhibits an abundant and repeated florescence, exhibits the ability to grow well in the greenhouse or outside, possesses the ability for its blossoms to last for a long time, and forms petals which detach cleanly.
