ABSTRACT:
BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Rosa hybrida.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘POULshrimp’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of miniature rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between ‘POULege’, a rose by the same inventors, described and illustrated in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/282,073 dated Mar. 29, 1999; and ‘POULvic’, a rose by the same inventors, described and illustrated in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,012 issued on Oct. 27, 1994. The two parents were crossed during the summer of 1990 and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark. The new variety is named ‘POULshrimp’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘POULege’, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. ‘POULshrimp’ has bright orange-red blooms, whereas the ‘POULege’ has salmon-orange blooms.
2. ‘POULshrimp’ is a miniature garden rose, whereas ‘POULege’ is a floribunda rose.
3. ‘POULshrimp’ exhibits more compact and even and growth than ‘POULege’.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘POULvic’ by the following combination of characteristics:
1. ‘POULshrimp’ has bright orange-red blooms, whereas ‘POULvic’ has red blooms.
2. ‘POULshrimp’ exhibits less flowers per stem when compared to ‘POULvic’.
3. ‘POULshrimp’ is a larger plant in height and width than ‘POULvic’.
The objective of the hybridization of this rose variety was to create a new and distinct variety for garden use with unique qualities, such as:
1. Uniform and abundant flowers;
2. Vigorous, but compact growth;
3. Disease resistance.
This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguish ‘POULshrimp’ 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 1990 and conducted evaluations on the resulting seedlings in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark.
‘POULshrimp’ was selected in the spring of 1991 by the inventors as a single plant from the progeny of the aforementioned hybridization.
Asexual reproduction of ‘POULshrimp’ by traditional budding and rooted cuttings was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in their nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in summer 1991. This initial and other subsequent asexual propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULshrimp’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
