Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Spray rose plant is provided which abundantly forms on a nearly continuous basis in sprays attractive long-lasting yellow-green blossoms. The buds are substantially spherical in shape, the blossoms display a uniform and homogeneous appearance, and the vegetation is vigorous. The attractive green foliage contrasts nicely with the light blossom coloration. The new variety displays an excellent aptitude to forcing and is particularly well suited for cut flower production under greenhouse growing conditions.
Description
Botanical/commercial classification: Rosa hybrida/Spray Rose Plant.
Varietal denomination: cv. Meiheven.
The new variety of Rosa hybrida Spray 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) was the ‘Meibondour’ variety (non-patented in the United States). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the ‘Keisupimi’ variety (non-patented in the United States). The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
(‘Meibondour’בKeisupimi’).
(‘Meibondour’בKeisupimi’).
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 Spray rose plant of the present invention:
-
- (a) forms buds that are substantially spherical in shape,
- (b) abundantly forms on a nearly continuous basis sprays of attractive long-lasting yellow-green blossoms,
- (c) forms attractive green foliage that contrasts well with the light blossom coloration,
- (d) displays an excellent aptitude to forcing, and
- (e) is particularly well suited for cut flower production under greenhouse growing conditions.
No disease problem has been observed while grown in a greenhouse. The plant is precocious and the attractive blossoms display a uniform and homogenous appearance.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry and can be grown to advantage under commercial greenhouse growing conditions.
The new variety can be readily distinguished from its ancestors upon an observation of the flower coloration. For instance, the ‘Meibondour’ variety displays yellow blossoms, and the ‘Keisupimi’ variety forms pink blossoms.
The new variety has been found to undergo asexual propagation in France by a number of routes, including budding, grafting, and the use of cuttings. Asexual propagation by the above-mentioned techniques in 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 ‘Meiheven’.
The accompanying photograph shows as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same, in a color illustration of this character, typical specimens of the plant parts of the new variety. The rose plants of the new variety were approximately one year of age and were observed during September while budded on Rosa indica major understock and growing outdoors at Le Cannet des Maures, Var, France. Dimensions in centimeters are indicated at the bottom of the photograph.
