ABSTRACT:
Botanical/commercial classification:
Rosa hybrida
/Hybrid Tea Rose Plant.
Varietal denomination: cv. ‘Meiwiling’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of
Rosa hybrida
Hybrid Tea rose plant was created by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was the product of the cross of the ‘Sterling Silver’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 1,433) and the ‘Mme. A. Meilland’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 591). The ‘Mme. A. Meilland’ variety sometimes is known as the ‘Peace’ variety. The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the ‘Meigormon’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,647). The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
(‘Sterling Silver’בMme. A. Meilland’)בMeigormon’.
The seeds resulting from the above pollination were sown and small plants were obtained which were physically and biologically different from each other. Selective study resulted in the identification of a single plant of the new variety.
It was found that the new Hybrid Tea variety of the present invention
(a) exhibits a narrow bushy growth habit,
(b) forms attractive large high-pointed buds,
(c) forms on a nearly continuous basis attractive double mauve-colored blossoms,
(d) forms semi-glossy foliage that contrasts well with the mauve blossom coloration, and
(e) is particularly well suited for cut flower production under greenhouse growing conditions.
The disease tolerance is very good with respect to Powdery Mildew and Botrytis.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry and can be used for the commercial production of cut flowers when grown indoors.
The new variety can be readily distinguished from its ancestors. For instance, the ‘Sterling Silver’ variety forms lighter colored blossoms that display an intense fragrance and forms darker more glossy foliage. The ‘Mme. A. Meilland’ variety forms golden yellow blossoms having rose-pink edges and a slight fragrance. The ‘Meigormon’ variety forms smaller buds and red blossoms.
The new variety has been found to undergo asexual propagation in France by a number of routes, including budding, grafting, and cuttage. Asexual propagation by the above-mentioned techniques in France has shown that the characteristics of the new variety are stable and are strictly transmissible by such asexual propagation from one generation to another.
The new variety has been named the ‘Meiwiling’ variety.
