ABSTRACT:
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 variety ‘JACtou’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,706, with the variety ‘KEIbian’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,476.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the dark green, glossy, disease-resistant foliage, fragrance and thick petals of the female parent combined with the fragrance, dark foliage and vigor of the male parent. It was also hoped to deepen the color of the flowers by using the deep yellow flowered male parent. The objective was substantially achieved, along with other desirable improvements, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics that are outstanding in the new variety and that distinguish it from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. Vigorous, upright but quite compact growth.
2. Dark green, glossy foliage.
3. Fragrant flowers.
4. Large yellow and pink blend flowers.
5. Disease resistant foliage.
‘JACbitou’ is a yellow and pink blend garden rose. This hybrid tea is a compact plant growing to 4½ feet in Somis, Calif., unlike most hybrid teas that grow to 5½ feet. Its stems are strong but only 14 to 16 inches long. Flowers are large and quite fragrant and presented one to a stem.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding, as performed at Wasco, Calif., shows that the foregoing and all other characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
