Miniature rose plant-Wilsma variety

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Miniature rose plant is provided having attractive and very abundant blossoms which are Spinel red in coloration. The new variety resulted from the crossing of the Pinafore variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,810) and the unnamed seedling resulting from the cross of the Lilibet variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,209) and the Fairy Queen variety (non-patented). It is a very vigorous grower with a low-growing semi-spreading habit. The blossoms are single and petite and are borne in clusters of up to a dozen or more. The new variety is particularly suited for ornamental use in the home landscape.

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 light green wood has a semi-spreading growth habit, forms abundant shiny leaves, and forms very abundant single flowers which are Spinel red in coloration; and   (b) from the biological standpoint the plant has vigorous, low growing and regular vegetation, exhibits an abundant and repeated florescence, and forms petals which detach cleanly.
