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 ‘Poulty027’. Specifically illustrated in the drawing are a flowering branch, open flower viewed from above, a partially opened flower viewed from the side, bare stem, leaves, petals detached, and sepals detached revealing reproductive flower parts. Plants shown are 4 months in age.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETY

(2) The following is a description of ‘Poulty027’, as observed in its growth in a greenhouse in Odense Denmark. Plants were grown in 19 cm containers under natural light conditions, for a period of 4 months.

(3) For a comparison, several physical characteristics of the rose variety ‘Poulpar056’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,603 are compared to ‘Poulty027’ in Chart 1.
