Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

(1) The accompanying color illustration shows as true as is reasonably possible to obtain in color photographs of this type, the typical characteristics of the buds, flowers, leaves, and stems, of ‘Poulpar116’. Specifically illustrated in the drawing are open flowers viewed from above and the side, flower buds at various stages of development, leaves, bare stems, flower petals detached showing reproductive flower parts. Plants shown are four months of age.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETY

(2) The following is a description of ‘Poulpar116’, as observed in its growth in a controlled environment greenhouse in Odense Denmark. Observed plants are 4 months old and were grown on their own roots in 19 cm containers. Color references are made using The Royal Horticultural Society (London, England) Colour Chart, 2001, except where common terms of color are used.

(3) For a comparison, several physical characteristics of the rose variety ‘Poulpah091’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 30,350 are compared to ‘Poulpar116’ in Chart 1.
