ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of a hybrid tea rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between two unnamed, non-commercial seedlings. The two parents were crossed and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment. The new variety is named ‘POULen002’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, an unnamed seedling, created by the same inventors, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The seed parent is classified as a floribunda rose, while ‘POULen002’ is a hybrid tea;
2. The seed parent's blooms are a clear yellow color; whereas, ‘POULen002’ has amber yellow blooms;
3. The seed parent blooms are smaller in size and have fewer petals than ‘POULen002’.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, an unnamed seedling created by the same inventors, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The seed parent has ivory-yellow blooms; whereas, ‘POULen002’ has amber-yellow blooms;
2. The petalage of the pollen parent is double; whereas, ‘POULen002’ has very double petalage;
3. The fragrance of ‘POULen002’ is much more intense than the fragrance of the pollen parent.
The objective of the hybridization of this rose variety for commercial greenhouse cuture was to create a new and distinct variety with unique qualities, such as:
1. Uniform and abundant flowers;
2. Vigorous and compact growth;
3. Fragrance;
4. Large, quartered blooms;
5. Disease resistance.
This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguishes ‘POULen002’ from all other varieties of which we are aware.
As part of their rose development program, L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens N. Olesen germinated the seeds from the aforementioned hybridization and conducted evaluations on the resulting seedlings in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark.
‘POULen002’ was selected by the inventors in spring, 1989 as a single plant from the progeny of the aforementioned hybridization.
Asexual reproduction of ‘POULen002’ by traditional budding was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in their nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in August 1989. This initial and other subsequent propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULen002’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
