Abstract

Shrub rose plant having perfectly rounded, full petaled, fresh tea-scented flowers of a soft creamy yellow that fades to ivory; an attractive, busy growth habit; and high disease resistance.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the shrub class which was originated by me by crossing two unnamed seedlings.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having a disease-resistant, strongly-growing plant with blooms of an old-fashioned shape that repeat flowers well. 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. Fresh tea-scented fragrance;
2. Attractive, bushy growth;
3. Very disease-resistant; and
4. Perfectly rounded, full-petalled flowers of a soft, creamy yellow that fades to ivory.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding, as performed at David Austin Roses Ltd., Bowling Green Lane, Albrighton, England, 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 color illustration 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, except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated.
