ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea Rose. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Wekosomit’. It has as its seed parent the variety known as ‘DELosol’ (not patented) and as its pollen parent the variety known as ‘JACtou’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,706).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other presently available and commercial rose cultivars known to the inventor are the following combination of characteristics: its green coloration of the large prickles on the branches and new shoots, its pure even yellow flower coloration, its filaments of varying color and its large fully double flowers. The new variety has a bushy to somewhat upright growing habit, suitable for outdoor garden decoration.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding on the rootstock
Rosa hybrida
var. ‘Dr. Huey’ as performed in Kern County and Upland, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagation. ‘Wekosomit’ may be asexually propagated by cuttings, budding and grafting.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
The new variety may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘DELosol’ by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘DELosol’ bears medium sized flowers on short to medium length stems, ‘Wekosomit’ bears significantly larger flowers on longer stems. The new variety has a bushy somewhat upright medium-tall mature growth habit, whereas the seed parent has a more spreading to rounded significantly shorter mature growth habit.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘JACtou’ by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘Wekosomit’ produces clear pure Yellow double flowers (about 39 to 44 petals) with large and nearly rounded petals, the pollen parent produces more Golden Yellow flowers with significantly less petalage (about 20 to 25) with significantly smaller and more obovate petals. ‘JACtou’ bears Dark Green foliage, whereas the new variety bears significantly Lighter Green foliage.
