ABSTRACT:
Genus and species:
Rosa hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘JACeibre’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of floribunda rose plant named ‘JACeibre’ which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed seedling with the variety ‘TINherb,’ (Herbie) U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,787.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the light lavender flower color and vigorous growth of the unnamed lavender floribunda female parent combined with the 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. Light lavender flower color;
2. Moderate citrus fragrance;
3. Blooms in large open clusters;
4. Dark green, glossy foliage; and
5. Compact, well-branched plant habit.
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
The subject variety differs from the female parent in that the latter does not have a fragrance. The female parent also has larger leaves and has fewer flowers in its clusters. The male parent has a darker lavender color, a smaller flower size and smaller plant size.
COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR VARIETY
A similar variety ‘JACshok’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,562) has a Red-Purple 66C flower as compared to the Violet-Blue 97D flowers of ‘JACeibre.’ In addition, ‘JACshok’ is a larger plant being about 100 cm.×80 cm. as compared to the 80 cm.×50 cm. plant of ‘JACeibre.’
