My present invention relates to improvements in rose plants of the polyantha type. It resulted from a cross made by me, of two unnamed seedlings of which one of the earlier progenitors was the Mlle. Cecile Brunner. It produces a flower of pure soft pink with petals in rosette form.
Notes:
In the patent Krebs says this rose is from a cross of two seedlings derived from 'Mlle. Cecile Brunner'.
