ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of (
Rosa hybrida
) Hybrid Tea rose plant 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) of the new variety was the product of the cross of the ‘Jacgold’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,121) and the ‘Keizoubo’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,024). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the product of the cross of the ‘Meijason’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,622) and the ‘Rinakor’ variety (non-patented in the United States). The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
(‘Jacgold’בKeizoubo’)×(‘Meijason’בRinakor’).
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 identitication of a single plant of the new variety.
It was found that the new variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant of the present invention possesses the following combination of characteristics:
(a) Forms large floral buds that are well turbinated,
(b) Forms attractive double blossoms that are tangerine in coloration and are borne on very long and thick stems,
(c) Exhibits an erect growth habit, and
(d) Is particularly well suited for the production of cut flowers under greenhouse growing conditions.
The blossom coloration is tangerine and slightly orange-red on the inside petal margins of the new blooms.
The new variety of the present invention readily can be distinguished from its ancestors. More specifically, the ‘Jacgold’ variety exhibits yellow blossom petals, the ‘Keizoubo’ variety forms larger buds, the ‘Meijason’ variety exhibits pale cream blossom petals, and the ‘Rinakor’ variety exhibits orange blossom petals with a yellow base and smaller buds.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry and exhibits good productivity during cut flower production in a greenhouse.
The new variety has been found to undergo asexual propagation in France by a number of routes, including budding, grafting, and cuttage. Asexual propagation by the above-mentioned techniques in France has shown that the characteristics of the new variety are stable and are strictly transmissible by such asexual propagation from one generation to another.
The new variety has been named the ‘Meirecrom’ variety.
