ABSTRACT:
Classification: The present invention relates to a new
Rosa hybrida
plant.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘WEKemilcho’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of miniature rose. It has as its seed parent the variety known as ‘HARwilla’ (not patented) and as its pollen parent an undisseminated seedling of my creation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other presently available and commercial rose cultivars known to the inventor are the following combination of characteristics: its green styles heavily suffused with red pigmentation near the top, its single petaled flowers with a moderately large yellow zone at the base of the petal and its suffusion of red color on the rachis and the stipule. The plant has a bushy compact growing habit, suitable for outdoor garden decoration.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding as performed in Kern County and Upland, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations. ‘WEKemilcho’ may be asexually propagated by cuttings, budding and grafting. The budding and grafting successfully occurred on the plant/rootstock
Rosa hybrida
cv. ‘Dr. Huey’.
Comparison with Parents
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘HARwilla’ by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKemilcho’ bears flowers of scarlet red coloration with a yellow “eyezone”, ‘HARwilla’ bears yellow flowers blushing pink. ‘WEKemilcho’ bears flowers with nearly round to somewhat obovate petals, whereas ‘HARwilla’ bears flowers with significantly more narrow petals. The new variety is classified as a miniature rose with a bushy compact mature growing habit, whereas the seed parent is a mini-flora rose with a significantly larger and taller mature growing habit.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, an undisseminated seedling of my creation by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKemilcho’ bears small to medium size (about 3.6 to about 4.7 cm. in diameter) flowers of scarlet red coloration with a yellow “eyezone”, the pollen parent bears significantly smaller flowers of blended yellow coloration. ‘WEKemilcho’ bears flowers of single petalage (about 5 to 6 petals), whereas the pollen parent bears flowers of significantly higher petalage. The undisseminated seedling bears light green foliage, whereas the new variety bears significantly darker foliage.
