| Abstract: |
Shrub rose plant that exhibits ease of rooting as a soft or hardwood cutting; excellent disease resistance; vigorous spreading and arching habit of growth; and very glossy leather foliage. |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the shrub class, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly by its ease of rooting as a soft or hardwoodcutting; excellent disease resistance; vigorous spreading and arching habit of growth; and very glossy leather foliage. |
| Description: |
Genus and species: Rosa hybrida.
Variety denomination: `JACtoose`.
ORIGIN OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a shrub rose plant named `JACtoose` which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed red shrub rose plant (female parent, unpatented), parentage of female parent is `MACminmo` (PP7319).times.unnamed seedling (not patented), with the variety `TANotax` (male parent, PP 11572).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new shrub rose variety having the arching habit, disease resistance and own root vigor of the female unnamed seed parent combined with the disease resistance of the male parent.
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 asfrom all other varieties of which I am aware: 1. Ease of rooting as a soft or hardwood cutting. 2. Excellent disease resistance. 3. Vigorous spreading and arching habit of growth. 4. Very glossy leather foliage.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by cuttings, as performed at Wasco, Calif., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
The unnamed female seed parent differs in flower color (red for the female parent versus pink for `JACtoose`). The male parent `TANotax` differs in plant habit (spreading and arching for `JACtoose` versus upright for `TANotax`).
COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR VARIETY
The most similar variety in habit is believed to be `MACminmo` (PP7319). `JACtoose` differs from `MACminmo` in flower color (striped for `MACminmo` versus pink for `JACtoose`).
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATION
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.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

Parentage: Seed parent.--Unnamed red shrub rose (not patented). Parentage of seed parent is `MACminmo` (PP 7319).times.unnamed seedling (unpatented). Pollen parent.--`TANotax` (PP 11,572).
