ABSTRACT:
BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Rosa hybrida.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘POULra005’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between ‘POULhappy’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,483, issued Mar. 26, 1996) and ‘Rumba’, an unpatented variety. The two parents were crossed and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment. The new variety is named ‘POULra005’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘POULhappy’, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The blooms of ‘POULhappy’ are red, whereas ‘POULra005’ blooms are bright red-orange.
2. The flowers of ‘Poulra005’ are larger than those of ‘POULhappy’.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘Rumba’, an unpatented variety created by the same inventors, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. ‘Rumba’ has bi-color (yellow & red) blooms, whereas ‘POULra005’ has orange-red blooms.
2. ‘Rumba’ is used in commercial cut flower production, while ‘POULra005’ is used for forced pot plant production.
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 red-orange 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.
This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguish ‘POULra005’ 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.
‘POULra005’ was selected by the inventors as a single plant from the progeny of the hybridization in spring 1998.
Asexual reproduction of ‘POULra005’ by cuttings and traditional budding was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in their nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in June 1998. This initial and other subsequent propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULra005’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
