Miniature rose plant named ‘SAVasalute’

Abstract

‘SAVasalute’ is a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant primarily identified by its dark red, non fading flowers of exhibition, hybrid tea form on straight stems held above the plant making them ideal for cutting. Fragrance is so slight as to be of no significance. Its dark green, semi-glossy foliage has shown very good disease resistance in national, outside testing. ‘SAVasalute’ is hardy at least to zone 4 and heat tolerant at least to zone 9.

1. A new and distinct variety of hardy, miniature rose plant is claimed, substantially as illustrated and described, with long lasting flowers of a dark red tonality and exhibition, hybrid-tea form, on a vigorous and upright plant with dark green, semi-glossy foliage, having overall good disease resistance and suitable for production from softwood cuttings in pots.
