ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification:
Rosa hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘POULra023’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between the female seed parent, an unnamed plant, and the pollen parent, ‘KORstoffein’, described and illustrated in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,242 dated Feb. 22, 2000. The two parents were crossed and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment. The new variety is named ‘POULRa023’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘KORstoffein’, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The pollen parent has 25 to 30 petals, while ‘POULra023’ has an average of 16 petals.
2. ‘KORstoffein’ has a petal color of Yellow-Orange Group 19D while the same of ‘POULra023’ is White Group 155D.
The new variety may be distinguished from its seed parent, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The seed parent has a Red flower color, while ‘POULra023’ has a white flower color.
2. Flowers of the seed parent have more flower petals than ‘POULra023’.
The objective of the hybridization of this rose variety for commercial culture was to create a new and distinct variety with unique qualities, such as:
1. Uniform and abundant white flowers;
2. Vigorous and compact growth;
3. Year-round flowering under glasshouse conditions;
4. Suitability for production from softwood cuttings in pots;
5. Durable flowers and foliage which make a variety suitable for distribution in the floral industry.
This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguish ‘POULra023’ 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.
‘POULra023’ was selected by the inventors as a single plant from the progeny of the hybridization in 2000.
Asexual reproduction of ‘POULra023’ by cuttings and traditional budding was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in their nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in 2001. This initial and other subsequent propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULra023’ are true to type and are transmitted from one greenhouse to the next.
