Tea rose named Tobone

Abstract

A new variety of hybrid tea rose intended mainly for greenhouse culture and the commercial production of cut flowers, characterized by a continuous and profuse production of very large red-purple blooms carried on very long, strong stems; its urn-shaped buds which open slowly to produce well formed flowers having large petals which tend to marginally turn under and form points; its free branching and vigorous growth habit; its abundant production of glossy foliage and long last vase life; and its resistance to diseases.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct rose plant, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by the brilliant red-purple color of its very large flowers which are borne on long, strong stems, its year-around abundant production of long-lasting blooms, and its disease resistance.
