ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Classification:
Botanical.—
Rosa hybrida
‘POULgo004’.
Commercial.—Miniature.
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between an unnamed, unpatented seedling and ‘POULrijk’, decribed and illustrated under U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/261,445, dated Mar. 3, 1999. The two parents were crossed during the summer of 1994 and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark. The new variety is named ‘POULgo004’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, an unnamed seedling, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The seed parent exhibits pink blooms, where ‘POULgo004’ exhibits red blooms.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘POULrijk’ by the following combination of characteristics:
1. ‘POULrijk’ exhibits pink blooms, where those of ‘POULgo004’ are red.
2. ‘POULrijk’ is a shrub rose with a spreading, low-growing habit, while ‘POULgo004’ is more procumbent and suitable for use in hanging baskets.
The objective of the hybridization of this rose variety was to create a new and distinct variety for use in hanging baskets with unique qualities, such as:
1. Uniform and abundant flowers;
2. Vigorous, but compact growth when propagated by cuttings;
3. Disease resistance;
4. A miniature rose suitable for use in hanging basket containers in the nursery industry.
This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguish ‘POULgo004’ 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 1994 and conducted evaluations on the resulting seedlings in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark.
‘POULgo004’ was selected in the spring 1995 by the inventors as a single plant from the progeny of the aforementioned hybridization.
Asexual reproduction of ‘POULgo004’ by traditional budding and rooted cuttings was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in their nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in July 1995. This initial and other subsequent asexual propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULgo004’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
