Abstract

Shrub/climber rose plant having soft pink, cupped flowers filled with numerous petals; vigorous, bushy growth and a good fragrance with a hint of myrrh.

Description

Genus and Species: Rosa hybrida
Variety Denomination: ‘AUSbite’
ORIGIN OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a shrub rose plant named ‘AUSbite’ which was originated by me by crossing the variety ‘AUScot’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,215, with an unnamed seedling.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having soft pink flowers, good fragrance, and high disease resistance.
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. Soft pink, cupped flowers with numerous petals.
2. Vigorous, bushy growth.
3. Good fragrance with a hint of myrrh.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding, 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
‘AUScot’ (Abraham Darby), is a well rounded shrub bearing large apricot cup-shaped flowers. The female parent has large globular flowers of a deeper pink than AUSbite.
Comparison with Similar Variety
‘AUStop’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,423) has blush pink blooms on a shrubby, twiggy plant, whereas ‘AUSbite’ has soft pink blooms and forms a substantial bushy shrub.
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 color illustration of this character.
