ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification: Rosa.
Variety denomination: ‘Bokramar’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Rose plant botanically known as Rosa and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Bokramar’.
The new cultivar is the product of a breeding program conducted by the inventor in a cultivated area of Boskoop, The Netherlands. The objectives of the breeding program were to develop a rose plant not exceeding one meter in height and exhibiting pink flowers that repeat flower. ‘Bokramar’ is a hybrid seedling that originated from the induced hybridization of the female or seed parent Rosa ‘Ivtagolf’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,371) and an unidentified male or pollen parent. The new cultivar ‘Bokramar’ was selected by the inventor in 1997 as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment of Boskoop, The Netherlands.
The closest comparison plant is Rosa ‘Mozart’ (unpatented). ‘Bokramar’ is distinguishable from ‘Mozart’ by larger flowers, flower color, less vigor and shorter height. The new cultivar ‘Bokramar’ is distinguishable from the female parent Rosa ‘Ivtagolf’ by pink flowers, larger flowers and leaves that are larger in size and lighter green in color.
Asexual reproduction was accomplished by the inventor in 1998 using softwood cuttings in Boskoop, The Netherlands. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new Rose cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Rosa cultivar ‘Bokramar’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Bokramar’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from all other existing varieties of Rosa known to the inventor. ‘Bokramar’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
1. Rosa ‘Bokramar’ exhibits strong-pink flowers that fade to a soft-pink, giving a bi-colored effect to the flowers.
2. Rosa ‘Bokramar’ is low-growing and does not exceed one meter in height at maturity.
3. Rosa ‘Bokramar’ exhibits repeat flowering.
4. Rosa ‘Bokramar’ is hardy to USDA Zone 6.
5. Rosa ‘Bokramar’ is less susceptible to disease than other Roses.
