ABSTRACT:
Genus and Species:
Rosa hybrida.
Variety Denomination ‘JACarobe’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of floribunda rose plant named ‘JACarobe’ which was originated by me by crossing the variety ‘AROfres,’ (unpatented) with the variety ‘HARroony,’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,582.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having strong vigorous growth and healthy foliage of the yellow floribunda female parent combined with the larger flower, high petal count and strong fragrance of the male parent.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
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. Strong fragrance;
2. Large flower size;
3. Dark, glossy, healthy foliage;
4. Vigorous growth; and
5. Deep, lasting, yellow flower color.
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.
Comparison with Parents
‘JACarobe’ differs from the female parent in that the female parent has no fragrance, is more compact and has smaller flowers. ‘JACarobe’ differs from the male parent in that the male parent has a different flower color, larger foliage and larger flower size.
Comparison with Similar Variety
Differs from other yellow floribundas in flower fragrance, the lasting quality of the yellow color and its excellent, healthy foliage. It differs from the variety ‘JACjem’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,001) in that ‘JACarobe's’ blooms have fewer petals, a much stronger fragrance and larger size.
