ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a hardy, dwarf, bush plant of the miniature class; the variety being primarily characterized as pink blend.
The variety is further characterized by:
Long stemmed blooms of hybrid tea-type form, borne one to a stem and in sprays of 5 to 7 or more. The blooms are held very erect and well above the foliage.
The plant ranges in height from 24 to 36 inches (60 to 80 cm). The canes are sturdy and erect with moderate branching and medium to heavy foliage covering. The plant is a heavy bloomer that does well either in the greenhouse or outdoors.
The plant has good growth habits, is well-shaped and attractive, bearing numerous leaflets of average size. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by cuttings derived from the plant stem, as performed at Chula Vista, Calif., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The seed parent was Gene Boerner (a pink floribunda rose plant hybridized by Boerner and introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 1968), and the pollen parent was Jean Kenneally (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,637). It differs from its seed parent in the following ways: It is a miniature rose with open bloom size of 2 of 3 cm, and Gene Boerner is a floribunda with open bloom size of 5 to 7 cm. It differs from its pollen parent in the following ways: It produces blooms in shades of light pink with a medium pink reverse, and Jean Kenneally produces blooms in pale apricot overall.
