Application No: 024463  on  17 Feb 1998

The patent states the following, which is in disagreement with what is posted in the Notes above. "The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed, rose-red hybrid tea seedling, the parentage of which is an unnamed red hybrid tea seedling.times.unnamed lavender hybrid tea seedling, with `JACsos` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,235)."

Therefore, the parentage is (unnamed red HT X unnamed lavender HT), the result of which was a rose-red HT which was then crossed with JACsos (Cherry Jubilee).
