ABSTRACT:
Genus and species: Rosa hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘JACbeau’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant named ‘JACbeau’ of the floribunda class which was originated by me by crossing the variety ‘JACjem,’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,001, with the variety ‘JACdew,’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,122.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the compact habit, profuse blooming and good disease resistance of the female parent combined with good disease resistance and well branched habit 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. Constant flowering during the growing season;
2. Resistant to powdery mildew and rust;
3. Compact, well-branched plant habit;
4. Deep maroon colored new foliage that turns dark green; and
5. Flowers produced in trusses of 3 to 5.
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
‘JACbeau’ is different in flower color to both parents, ‘JACjem’ having medium yellow flowers, ‘JACdew’ having orange-red flowers.
COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR VARIETY
‘JACbeau’ has a unique cream colored bud opening to an ivory or near white flower with a yellow base making this rose unlike any other. It is more compact than ‘KORbin’ (not patented) and more cream colored than ‘JACare,’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,515), the two closest varieties.
