ABSTRACT:
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of
Rose hybrida
landscape shrub rose plant of the present invention was created by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) was a seedling of the ‘Carefree Beauty’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,225). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) of the new variety was a seedling of the ‘Razzle Dazzle’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,995). The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
‘Carefree Beauty’ SeedlingבRazzle Dazzle’ seedling.
The seeds resulting from the above pollination were sown and small plants were obtained which were physically and biologically different from each other. Selective study resulted in the indentification of a single plant of the new variety.
It was found that the new variety of landscape shrub rose plant of the present invention possesses the following combination of characteristics:
(a) Abundantly and substantially continuously forms attractive single blossoms that are red in coloration,
(b) Exhibits a round and bushy growth habit,
(c) Forms vigorous vegetation,
(d) Forms attractive ornamental green foliage with a satiny finish, and
(e) Exhibits excellent resistance to blackspot.
A new rose variety is provided having attractive red blooms, combined with substantially continuous blooming and blackspot resistance. The blooming cycle is believed to be one of the longest observed to date for a rose plant.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry. It can be grown to advantage as attractive ornamentation in parks, gardens, public areas, and residential landscapes. Accordingly, it is particularly well suited for growing in the landscape. The red blossoms contrast nicely with the satiny green foliage.
The characteristics of the new variety have been found at Wasco, Calif. to be homogeneous and stable and are strictly transmissible by asexual propagation such as budding, grafting, and cuttage from one generation to another.
The new variety has been named the ‘Radrazz’ variety.
