ABSTRACT:
GENUS AND SPECIES
Rosa hybrida.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘AUSpeet’.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the shrub class which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed seedling, (unpatented), with an unnamed seedling (unpatented).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having a very free-flowering and healthy plant with flowers of the classic English rose shape with a good fragrance.
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. Very large, full rounded blooms, opening to a shallow cup;
2. Attractive, bushy growth; and
3. Color of flowers varies from an almost buff yellow to lemon yellow.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding onto
Rosa dumetorum laxa
rootstock, as performed at Albrighton, England, 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
‘AUSpeet’ has yellow flowers compared to the pink/apricot flowers of its seed parent and 136 petals as compared to the 55 to 75 petaled flower of its pollen parent.
COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR VARIETY
The most similar rose variety, ‘AUSbaker’, (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/705,463) has a large, arching growth habit as compared to ‘AUSpeet's’ upright branching habit and ‘AUSbaker's’ leaves are smaller and the leaflets less rounded than those of ‘AUSpeet’.
