| Abstract: |
Floribunda rose plant having fragrant lavender flowers in large rounded clusters and dark, glossy green foliage having good resistance to mildew and rust. |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the floribunda class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly by its lavender flowers in large roundedclusters, and having strong fragrance and its dark, glossy green foliage having good resistance to mildew and rust. |
| Description: |
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant ofthe floribunda class which was originated by me by crossing the variety JACship (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,948) with the variety AROsedi (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,172).
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the rounded, vigorous, plant habit and large flower clusters of the female parent combined with the lavender flower color; deep green foliage; and fragrance of themale parent.
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 asfrom all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. Strong fragrance;
2. Lavender flower color;
3. Large rounded clusters;
4. Dark, glossy green foliage; and
5. Good disease resistance
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding, as performed at Wasco, Calif., shows that the foregoing and all other characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The accompanying illustration shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of this new variety in different stages of development, depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a colorillustration of this character.
The following is a detailed description of my new rose cultivar with color descriptions using terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society (London) Colour Chart (1966), except where ordinarydictionary significance of color is indicated. Parentage: Seed parent.--JACship (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,948). Pollen parent.--AROsedi (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,172). Classification: Botanical.--Rosa hybrida. Commercial.--Floribunda.
