Abstract
A variety of rose plant of the shrub class, named ‘AUSmerchant’ is disclosed. The ‘AUSmerchant’ rose is a plant suitable for repeat flowering production having large pink blooms and a strong tea fragrance.
Description
Classification: The present invention relates to a new Rosa hybrida shrub.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘AUSmerchant’.
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant named ‘AUSmerchant’, which was originated by crossing two unnamed, unpatented varieties of Rosa hybrida.
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a very healthy repeat flowering variety having large, pink blooms with a strong fragrance and strong rounded growth.
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other presently available and commercial rose cultivars known to the inventor is the following combination of characteristics: large, pink blooms with a strong fragrance and strong rounded growth.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding as performed in greenhouses at Bowling Green Lane in Albrighton, Britain shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations. ‘AUSmerchant’ may be asexually propagated by budding and grafting. The budding and grafting successfully occurred on the plant/rootstock Rosa cv. ‘Dr. Huey’ in the United States and on the plant/rootstock Rosa dumetorum cv. ‘Laxa’ in the United Kingdom.
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, by the following combination of characteristics: whereas the parent has bright crimson blooms and very little fragrance, ‘AUSmerchant’ bears flowers of pink and a strong fragrance. The new variety is classified as a hybrida rose with a strong rounded growing habit.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, by the following combination of characteristics: whereas the pollen parent bears rich crimson blooms, ‘AUSmerchant’ bears flowers of a warm pink.
The closest commercially available cultivar to the new variety is the ‘AUShunter’, which is unpatented. The new rose may be distinguished from the ‘AUShunter’ variety by the following combination of characteristics: the ‘AUShunter’ has fewer petals, smaller blooms with a salmon color and darker leaves compared to ‘AUSmerchant’, which has a greater number of petals, warm pink blooms and lighter green leaves.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the new variety and shows the flowering thereof from bud to full bloom depicted in color as nearly correct as it is possible to make in a color illustration of the character. Throughout this specification, color references and/or values are based upon the Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society (2001) except where common terms of color definition are employed.
The following description is of 2 year-old rose plants of the new variety grown outdoors in Albrighton, Britain in the month of August. Phenotypic expression may vary with environmental, cultural and climatic conditions, as well as differences in conditions of light and soil.
