This was a really odd patent to discover because it cites another patent as one parent, yet that patent doesnt give the rose a name. I am not sure why they patented the seedling lol.
So, the patent to this rose states, "The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, which was originated by us by crossing the variety known as "Fandango" (Plant Patent No. 894) with an unnamed variety which is the subject of Plant Patent No. 1,277, the variety "Fandango" being the seed parent and the unnamed variety being the pollen parent."
"The general objective of this breeding was to produce a new and improved rose variety which bears flowers whose color falls in the pink or light red color range and of the hybrid tea or grandiflora type, combined with the large flower size, good bud form and large, glossy, disease resistant foliage characteristic of the seed parent, along with the floriferousness, excellent, dense, bushy habit, and vigor that are characteristic of the unnamed pollen parent."
"Seed parent.—"Fandango."
Pollen parent.—An unnamed variety which is the
subject of Plant Patent No. 1,277."
The patent to Rose #PP1,277 states,
"The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid polyantha class, which was originated by me by crossing the variety "Minna Kordes," known in the United States as "World's Pair" (Plant Patent No. 362) 5 with the variety "Pinocchio" (Plant Patent No. 484)."
The rose is described as, "A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid polyantha class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by its abundant foliage, by its manyflowered cluster habit of growth, by the relatively large size and moderate fragrance of its flowers, by the deep pink general color tonality of its flowers, and by the relatively few prickles on the flowering stems and on the entire plant."
