| Abstract: |
A rose plant exhibiting good resistance to powdery mildew, and being characterized by nonfragrant flowers, very high crop, good self-rooting and high stem break forth. |
| Claim: |
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of rose plant of a hybrid tea rose, variety, named Carola, as shown and described, and consisting mainly of plants being vigorous growing, showing a largeflower bud, containing a large number of petals, having nonfragrant with petals with a medium-sized white spot at their base, with early and prolific flower production, and having fast and good propagating features. |
| Description: |
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is concerned with a new variety of hybrid tea rose discovered by me and being a mutation of Deladel (U.S. Plant. Pat. No. 4,391, dated Mar. 6, 1979), Madame G. Delbard variety.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The mutation was first discovered on a cultivated area, in a farm located in South America, at an altitude of about 2,400-2,500 meters above sea level, with average night temperature of 5-8 degrees centigrade, and day temperature of 5-18 degreescentigrade.
Plants were grown in a green-house, and then brought to Israel, where they were vegetatively propagated by selfrooting of cuttings.
Asexual reproduction of this new cultivar as performed at Yuval Agriculture Products at Moshav Ha'Yogev shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions came true to form and are established and transmitted through succeedingpropagations.
The resulting plants were found to be stable in their botanical characteristics, as are described below and in the attached drawing.
The following is a description of the characteristics of my new rose cultivar which distinguish it from cultivars of which I am aware and especially from Madame G. Delbard (Deladel):
1. Better branching.
2. Larger flower bud.
3. Distinct larger number of petals.
4. Larger sepals with larger extensions.
5. More water shoots, than the original plant.
6. Good grafting compatibility on Rosa indica L.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The first sheet of the drawing depicts buds of the claimed plant in various stages of opening; the characteristic shape and foliaceous appendages of the sepals are shown along with the high-centered character of the buds themselves. Thecoloration of the other surfaces of the petals at this stage of opening is also depicted.
The second sheet of drawing shows, in comparison, two petals of Carola, designated as A at the top of the drawing, and petals of comparable stage of maturity as taken from the parent variety "Deladel", labelled B, at the bottom of the drawing. This sheet of drawing also depicts the typical difference in size of the petals taken from the mutation as compared to the parent variety; and, also shows the difference in the size of the spot at the point of petal attachment; that of the parent"Deladel" being much smaller in the comparison; and the difference in coloration; that of the sport being clear white while that of the parent being light yellow in color.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following is a detailed description of my new rose cultivar with color in terminology in accordance with Royal Horticultural Society of London, England (R.H.S.) Colour Chart except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated.
The plant originated from a mutation of Madame G. Delbard.
The following description is based on observations made in Moshav Ha'Yogev, Israel, in a greenhouse:

Comparison Of Production Characteristics Between The New Variety "Carola" and Variety "Deladel"
Observations made in Ecuador from commercial plantings during 1988-1990, where the two varieties were grown side by side, under the same conditions and same age, were both self-rooted and with the same planting time. Each one 10,000 squaremeters of plants.

(about 65% success) ______________________________________
The size of the spot was, for the variety `Carola` defined
as: size of spot at base of inner side of petal-medium, and size of spot at base of outer side of petal-very small to small, using the sketch of the Test Guidelines for Rose of the Union for Protection of New Plant Varieties (documentTG/11/4)-applying the following calculation:
With lower value of length of spot 1 mm, and higher value of length of spot 35 mm.
Statistical Analysis For Additional Observations Made In Ecuador In Order To Compare Carola With Deladel
______________________________________ Carola Deladel ______________________________________ Number of petals: standard deviation 7.77 3.92 mean 32.05 22.35 Plant height in 8 months: standard deviation 0.13 0.10 mean 1.97 1.50 Basalshoots: standard deviation 1.48 0.67 mean 3.00 1.32 Flowers per plant: standard deviation 0.53 0.48 mean 1.76 1.17 ______________________________________
In all tests of the examined characteristics, the conclusion was that the population differ with a high level of significance.
