ABSTRACT:
BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Rosa hybrida.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Wekpipogop’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Shrub Rose. The varietal denomination of the new variety is
Rosa hybrida
cv. ‘WEKpipogop’. It has as its seed parent the variety known as ‘JACship’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,948) and as its pollen parent the variety known as ‘WEOpop’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,809).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other presently available and commercial rose cultivars known to the inventor are the following combination of characteristics: its large clusters of white flowers, its rough under side of the rachis, its very full branching and rounded mature growth habit and its honey to anis-like fragrance. The plant has a rounded and very bushy growth habit, suitable for garden decoration.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding as performed in Kern County and Upland, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. ‘WEKpipogop’ may be asexually propagated by cuttings, budding and grafting.
Comparison with Parents
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘JACship’ by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKpipogop’ bears medium sized flowers of bright white coloration with double petalage (about 24 to about 28), ‘JACship’ bears significantly larger flowers of pink coloration with heavier petalage (about 45). The seed parent has a bushy upright mature growth habit, whereas the new variety has a more rounded mature growth habit.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘WEOpop’ by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKpipogop’ bears medium sized flowers (about 5.1 to about 5.5 cms. in diameter), ‘WEOpop’ bears significantly smaller flowers (about 2.5 to about 3 cms. in diameter). The pollen parent bears small foliage (about 4.8 to about 6.9 cms. in length and about 3.9 to about 6.3 cms. in width at the widest point), whereas ‘WEKpipogop’ bears bigger foliage (about 7.6 to about 8.9 cms. in length and about 6.3 to about 7.0 cms. in width at the widest point). The pollen parent has a shorter rounded mature growth habit, whereas the new variety has a significantly larger mature growth habit.
