RACE. 



Swp-colours. 



Rose is obtained from unions where the colour factors C and R are 

 present together with a factor for paleness, provided the blue factor B 

 is absent from at least one of the parents. Hence it is obtained when 

 flesh or a certain type of sulphur-white (type 1 of p. 367) is crossed with 

 any form which gives a coloured F-^. If both parents lack B then it 

 appears in F^, but if one or other contain B it does not occur till F„. 

 Thus when sulphur-white type 1 was crossed with red, flesh, cream, or 

 Brompton white, F^ was rose ; whereas when bred with azure or light 

 purple the rose colour only appeared in certain plants in F„. Owing
