ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of climbing rose plant of the present invention 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 a seedling of the ‘Red Fountain’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,615). The male parent (i.e. the pollen parent) of the new variety was the ‘Mister Lincoln’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,370). The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
‘Red Fountain’בMister Lincoln’.
The intent of the breeding program was to create a new rose variety as vigorous as the parent ‘Red Fountain’ variety with a larger and improved bloom configuration.
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 variety of climbing rose plant of the present invention possesses the following combination of characteristics:
(a) Abundantly forms attractive medium red double blossoms that are larger and better formed than those of the parent ‘Red Fountain’ variety,
(b) Exhibits an upright climbing growth habit,
(c) Forms attractive large ornamental foliage that is thick and satiny,
(d) Exhibits a prolific propensity to set seeds,
(e) Exhibits good disease resistance,and
(f) Is very winter hardy.
The buds of the new variety bear a more traditional configuration and when fully open are less informal than those of the parent ‘Red Fountain’ variety.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry. It can be grown to advantage as attractive ornamentation in parks, gardens, public areas, and residential landscapes. Accordingly, it is particularly well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape. The bright medium red blossoms contrast nicely with the glossy green foliage.
The characteristics of the new variety have been found to be homogeneous and are stable and are strictly transmissible by asexual propagation preformed at Wasco, Calif., such as budding, grafting, and cuttage from one generation to another.
The new variety has been named the ‘Scarlet Star’ variety.
