ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the shrub class which was originated by me by crossing the variety Pirette (not patented), with the variety Pirette (not patented).
The primary objective of this breeding was to examine the variability within the hybrid rugosa variety ‘Pirette’. Ripe, self-pollinated hips were collected and seed harvested. The 618 seeds collected were germinated and several seedlings were selected and propagated by softwood cuttings. ‘JACrulav’ was eventually selected as a single plant as being significantly different and superior to its parent Pirette, differing from the latter in having only five petals of Red Group 53C versus Pirette's fifteen to twenty petals of Red-Purple Group 61C. Those and the following combination of characteristics are outstanding in the new variety and distinguish it from its parent, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. Dark pink blooms;
2. Repeat flowering;
3. Upright, well-branched habit of growth;
4. Excellent disease resistance; and
5. Strong fragrance.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by softwood cuttings, as performed at Wasco, Calif., shows that the foregoing and all other characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
