Abstract

A new and distinct Floribunda rose plant is provided that forms on a nearly continuous basis attractive bright yellow-orange blossoms. The growth habit is vigorous and bushy. The semi-glossy foliage is dense, dark green and of good substance and contrasts nicely with the yellow-orange blossom coloration. Very good tolerance to Black Spot and Oidium is displayed under normal growing conditions. The plant is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens.

Description

Botanical/commercial classification: Rosa hybrida/Floribunda Rose Plant.
Varietal denomination: cv. ‘Meipomolo’.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new Rosa hybrida variety of Floribunda rose plant was created by artificial pollination wherein two parents were crossed which previously had been studied in the hope that they would contribute the desired characteristics. The female parent (i.e., the seed parent) of the new variety was the ‘Kortikel’ variety (non-patented in the United States). The ‘Kortikel’ variety sometimes is marketed under the GOLDEN HOLSTEIN trademark. The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the ‘Meidomonac’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,105). Plants of the ‘Meidomonac’ variety are marketed under the BONICA trademark. The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
‘Kortikel’בMeidomonac’.
The seeds resulting from the above pollination were sown and small plants were obtained which were physically and biologically different from each other. Selective study resulted in the identification of a single plant of the new variety.
It was found that the new variety of Floribunda rose plant of the present invention possesses the following combination of characteristics:
    • (a) forms on a nearly continuous basis attractive bright yellow-orange blossoms,
    • (b) exhibits a vigorous and bushy growth habit,
    • (c) forms decorative dense dark green semi-glossy foliage of good substance,
    • (d) displays good tolerance to Oidium and Black Spot, and
    • (e) is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens.
The yellow-orange blossom coloration is luminous in character and contrasts nicely with the dark green foliage. Blooming commonly occurs on a substantially uninterrupted basis from May to November. The plant is well suited for growing in U.S.D.A. Hardiness Zone No. 6.
The new variety of the present invention can be readily distinguished from its ancestors. More specifically, the blossoms of the ‘Kortibel’ variety are pure yellow instead of bright yellow-orange. The ‘Meidomonac’ variety forms dissimilar medium pink blossoms.
The new variety of the present invention also can be readily distinguished from other similar Floribunda rose varieties, such as the ‘Meibaltaz’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,449) and ‘Meimonblan’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,579) varieties. Each forms blossoms having a different coloration. The ‘Meibaltaz’ variety forms yellow blossoms and the ‘Meimonblan’ variety forms darker tangerine orange blossoms.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry and is particularly well suited for enhancing the appearance of the landscape.
The new variety has been found to undergo asexual propagation in France by a number of routes, including budding, grafting, and cuttage. Asexual propagation by the above-mentioned techniques in the South of France has shown that the characteristics of the new variety are stable and are strictly transmissible by such asexual propagation from one generation to another.
The new variety has been named the ‘Meipomolo’ variety.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The chart used in the identification of the colors is that of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S. Colour Chart).

Reference to color in common terms is to be accorded its ordinary dictionary significance.
