ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea rose class which was originated by me by crossing the variety ‘JACsay’, unpatented (‘Samantha’בRoyalty’), with the variety ‘PEKcoujenny’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,749.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a deep red flower and large bud of the female parent combined with the glossy, disease resistant foliage of the male parent. 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. Large bud;
2. Deep red and open flower;
3. Glossy, dark green foliage;
4. Resistant to powdery mildew; and
5. Strong, upright, vigorous growth.
‘JACavirt’ was bred to be a greenhouse cut rose variety. It produces 170-180 stems/m
2
of greenhouse with average stem length of 22-26 inches. Vase life is long at twelve days.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding on Manetti rootstalk, as performed at Somis, Calif., shows that the foregoing and all other characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
