Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

(1) The accompanying color illustrations show 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 ‘Poulpar120’.

(2) Specifically illustrated in FIG. 1 of the drawings are flower buds, open flowers viewed from above and the side, petals detached revealing reproductive flower parts, sepals detached showing receptacle.

(3) Specifically illustrated in FIG. 2 of the drawings are mature and juvenile leaves with anthocyanin, and bare stems. Plants shown are 4 months of age.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETY

(4) The following is a description of ‘Poulpar120’, 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.

(5) For a comparison, several physical characteristics of the rose variety ‘Poulty019’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 26,051 are compared to ‘Poulpar120’ in Chart 1.
