ABSTRACT:
BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Rosa hybrida.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
WEKsanpoly.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Floribunda Rose. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘WEKsanpoly’. It has as its seed parent the variety known as ‘POUlclaus’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,063) and as its pollen parent an undisseminated seedling of my creation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other presently available and commercial rose cultivars known to the inventor are the following combination of characteristics: its even lasting red coloration, its sepal inner surfaces that blush red with age, its rounded bushy growing habit and its deep red style coloration. The new variety has a rounded bushy to somewhat upright growing habit, suitable for outdoor garden decoration.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding as performed in Kern County and Upland, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations. ‘WEKsanpoly’ may be asexually propagated by cuttings, budding and grafting.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
The new variety may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘Poulclaus’ by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘POUlclaus’ bears small sized flowers (about 5 to 6.5 cm. in diameter) and foliage, ‘WEKsanpoly’ bears significantly larger flowers (6.9 to about 9.0 cm. in diameter) and foliage. The seed parent is classified as a miniature rose with a small mature growing habit, whereas ‘WEKsanpoly’ is classified as a floribunda rose with a significantly larger mature growing habit.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, an undisseminated seedling of my creation, by the following combination of characteristics: whereas the undisseminated seedling bears semi-double flowers (about 7 to about 12 petals) and medium-large foliage, ‘WEKsanpoly’ bears double flowers with significantly higher petalage (about 18 to about 26 petals) and significantly smaller foliage. The new variety has a rounded bushy to somewhat upright growing habit with dark red new shoots whereas the pollen parent has a significantly more spreading growing habit with green new shoots.
