ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between an unnamed seedling and ‘POULjol’ (non-patented). The two parents were crossed and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment. The new variety is named ‘POULgildo’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, an unnamed seedling, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The unnamed seed parent is yellow with pink intonations. ‘POULgildo’ has no pink intonations.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘POULjol’ created by the same inventors, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. ‘POULjol’ is a bright red rose, where ‘POULgildo’ is yellow.
2. ‘POULjol’ is taller and more vigorous in growth than ‘POULgildo’.
3. ‘POULjol’ has a habit to be grown in a 10.5 cm pot, where ‘POULgildo’ has habit and size to be grown in a 6 cm pot.
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 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.
The combination of qualities of this variety represents significant improvement over previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguishes ‘POULgildo’ 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 in May of 1995.
‘POULgildo’ was selected by the inventors as a single plant from the progeny of the hybridization in Fredensborg, Denmark, in May of 1996. Asexual reproduction of ‘POULgildo’ by cuttings and traditional budding was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in Fredensborg, Denmark in August, 1996. This initial and other subsequent propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULgildo’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
