ABSTRACT:
Genus and species:
Rosa hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘JACrepor’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant named ‘JACrepor’ which was originated by me by crossing the variety ‘KORstoffein’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,242, with an unnamed seedling.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the high petal count, hard petals, and long shelf life of the female parent with the compact plant and red flower color of the male parent.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
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. High petal count;
2. Stable red color;
3. Very long shelf life as pot rose;
4. Absence of pollen;
5. Ability to grow well on its own roots; and
6. Highly adaptability to grow in 10 cm pots.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by rooting cuttings, 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.
Comparison with Parents
The female parent ‘KORstoffein’ is a light pink pot rose with 2.5 cm flowers, the plant having a shelf life of about twenty-one days. The male parent has red, 6.5 cm flowers, the plant having a shelf life of about seven days.
Comparison with Similar Variety
‘KORhomapo’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,148) is a similar variety but possess dark red flowers of larger size but fewer petals and also bears longer leaves.
