ABSTRACT:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Classification
Botanical.—
Rosa hybrida
‘POULflag’.
Commercial.—Miniature.
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between ‘POULneto’ and ‘Rumba’, both unpatented varieties. The two parents were crossed during the summer of 1996 and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark. The new variety is named ‘POULflag’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘POULneto’, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. ‘POULflag’ has bright orange blooms, whereas the seed parent has soft peach blooms.
2. ‘POULflag’ is a miniature garden rose, whereas ‘POULneto’ is utilized in cut-flower production.
3. ‘POULflag’ exhibits more compact and vigorous growth than the seed parent.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘Rumba’ by the following combination of characteristics:
1. ‘POULflag’ has bright orange flowers, whereas ‘Rumba’ has bi-color (yellow/red) flowers.
2. ‘POULflag’ is suitable for pot rose production, while ‘Rumba’ is utilized in cut-flower production.
3. ‘POULflag’ is more compact, even and vigorous in growth when compared ‘Rumba’.
The objective of the hybridization of this rose variety was to create a new and distinct variety for garden use with unique qualities, such as:
1. Uniform and abundant flowers;
2. Vigorous and compact growth when propagated by cuttings;
3. Disease resistance.
This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguish ‘POULflag’ 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 during winter 1996 and conducted evaluations on the resulting seedlings in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark.
‘POULflag’ was selected in the spring of 1997 by the inventors as a single plant from the progeny of the aforementioned hybridization. Asexual reproduction of ‘POULflag’ by traditional budding and rooted cuttings was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in their nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in summer 1997. This initial and other subsequent asexual propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULflag’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
