This new variety was developed by me under controlled conditions in a greenhouse in Rowley, Mass., by crossing the following two roses: a seedling, which was previously developed by this same breeding program but never introduced, of `Party Girl` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,598) by `SA Vaspark` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,799) as seed parent; the hybrid tea `MACgenev` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,279) as pollen parent ....photographs , taken from 6 to 7 year old plants as grown under shaded plastic in a greenhouse in Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Notes:
This fragrant, salmon-pink miniflora will wake you up and amaze you with its long-lasting blooms, both on the plant and in a vase. Fully double blossoms, 2 inches across, cover this bushy, compact plant throughout the season. Good form, vigor and disease resistance.
