'Half Time' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, which was originated by me by crossing the rose variety known as "Sunrise-Sunset" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,244) which I have chosen to identify in my breeding records as No. 6651-12 with a rose variety known as "Peace" (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 591), the seedling No. 6651-12 being the seed parent and the pollen parent being the variety "Peace".

Parentage:

seed:	[ Fandango (hybrid tea, Swim, 1950) × Roundelay] × [ Happiness (Hybrid Tea. Meilland. 1949) × Tiffany (hybrid tea, Lindquist, 1953)]
pollen:	Peace (hybrid tea, Meilland 1935)

Notes:

US Patent states parentage as Sunset-Sunrise X Peace, 'Sunset-Sunrise' being Tiffany X (seedling X Happiness)
