PP 1081, HT, Merry Go Round – Gladys Fisher

My present invention relates to a new and improved variety of hybrid tea rose plant which resulted from a cross made by me in our greenhouses at Woburn, Massachusetts. The female parent was Talisman (unpatented) and the male parent R. M. S. Queen Mary (Plant Patent No. 249).

This new variety is primarily a garden rose, producing many flowers throughout the entire season from early spring to late fall. Although its growth looks somewhat like that of Talisman--one of its parents--it is deceptive in that it has much greater strength of growth and stem, this strength being one of its outstanding characteristics, apparently inherited from its other parent---R. M. S. Queen Mary. Its flower shows characteristics of both of its parents in its form and coloring, being well-formed and high centered with a combination of salmon, pink and orange-yellow in its coloring.
