ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention consitutes a new and distinct variety of garden rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between two unnamed seedlings. The two parents were crossed and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment. The new variety is named ‘POULweeto’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, an unnamed seedling, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The seed parent has blooms which are a paler pink than the blooms of ‘POULweeto’;
2. The seed parent has a lower growing and more spreading habit when compared to ‘POULweeto’.
The new variety may variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, an unnamed seedling, created by the same inventors, by the follow combination of characteristics:
1. The pollen parent is a patio rose, and is much smaller than ‘POULweeto’;
2. The pollen parent has orange-red blooms; whereas, ‘POULweeto’ has pink blooms;
3. The foliage of the pollen parent is much smaller than the foliage of ‘POULweeto’.
The objective of the hybridization of this rose variety for garden use was to create a new and distinct variety with unique qualities, such as:
1. Uniform and abundant flowers combined with a long blooming season;
2. Vigorous, but compact growth;
3. Disease resistance;
4. Vigorous growth when propagated by cuttings.
This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguishes ‘POULweeto’ 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. ‘POULweet’ was selected in the Spring of 1992 by the inventors as a single plant from the progeny of aforementioned hybridization.
Asexual reproduction of ‘POULweeto’ by cuttings and traditional budding was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in their nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in August 1993. This initial and other subsequent propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULweeto’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
