ABSTRACT:
CLASSIFICATION
Botanical:
Rosa hybrida
‘POULbambe’.
Commercial: Shrub rose.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of shrub rose which originated from a controlled crossing between ‘POULtrav’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/277,240, dated Mar. 26, 1999) and ‘POULurt’ (described and illustrated in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,637 issued on Sep. 3, 1996). The two parents were crossed during the summer of 1993 and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark. The new variety is named ‘POULbambe’.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘POULtrav’, by the following combination of characteristics:
1. The bloom color of ‘POULbambe’ is a lighter amber-yellow compared to the bloom of ‘POULtrav’.
2. ‘POULbambe’ has smaller, more rounded flowers than ‘POULtrav’.
3. ‘POULbambe’ is a shrub rose with an upright bushing habit, whereas ‘POULtrav’ is a miniature rose.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘POULurt’ by the following combination of characteristics:
1. ‘POULbambe’ has amber-yellow blooms, whereas ‘POULurt’ has light yellow blooms.
2. ‘POULbambe’ has large, double flowers, whereas ‘POULurt’ has smaller, semi-double flowers.
3. ‘POULbambe’ has more upright bushy growth habit, while ‘POULurt’ has lower outspreading growth habit.
The objective of the hybridization of this rose variety was to create a new and distinct variety for garden use with unique qualities, such as:
1. Uniform and abundant amber-yellow flowers;
2. Vigorous, but compact growth when propagated both as a budded rose and on its own roots;
3. Disease resistance.
This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type and distinguish ‘POULbambe’ 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 during winter 1993 and conducted evaluations on the resulting seedlings in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark.
‘POULbambe’ was selected in the spring of 1994 by the inventors as a single plant from the progeny of the aforementioned hybridization.
Asexual reproduction of ‘POULbambe’ by traditional budding and rooted cuttings was first done by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen in their nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in summer 1994. This initial and other subsequent asexual propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘POULbambe’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.
