ABSTRACT:
Genus and species:
Rosa hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘KORravreli’.
ORIGIN OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a shrub rose plant named ‘KORravreli’ which was originated by me by crossing the variety ‘DELge’ (Centenaire de Lourdes), (not patented), with the variety ‘TANeitber’ (Bernstein-Rose), (not patented).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the disease resistance and shrub habit of the female parent combined with the larger flower, petal count and fragrance of the male parent.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The objective was substantially achieved, along with other desirable improvements, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics that are outstanding in the new variety and that distinguish it from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. Large, red, well formed flower with high petal count;
2. Shrubby, upright and spreading plant habit;
3. Resistance to rust and powdery mildew;
4. Spice-like fragrance.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by 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.
Comparison with Parents
The subject variety differs from female parent ‘DELgel’ (Centenaire de Lourdes) in flower color (rose-pink for ‘DELge’, apricot-pink for ‘KORravreli’), petal count (10-15 versus 70-80) and from male parent ‘TANeitber’ (Bernstein-Rose) in flower color (yellow for ‘DELge’, apricot for ‘KORravreli’), plant size (80 cm×60 cm versus 120 cm×90 cm).
Comparison with Similar Variety
The closest variety known to me is ‘AUSgold’ (Golden Celebration), U.S. Pat. No. 8,688. It differs from ‘KORravreli’ in flower color (apricot pink versus yellow), petal count (55 versus 70-80), and fragrance (old rose versus spice).
