Abstract

A new and distinct Miniature rose plant is provided which abundantly forms in clusters attractive cup-shaped blossoms that are ochre in coloration. A compact, low and bushy growth habit is displayed. The plant is well adapted for forcing in pot culture. The rather dense semi-glossy green foliage contracts nicely with the ochre blossom coloration. The new variety tends to blossom very early and on a nearly continuous basis thereafter. The tolerance to diseases is good, particularly with respect to Oidium. The new variety is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape and when grown in pots.

Description

Botanical/commercial classification: Rosa hybrida/Miniature Rose Plant.
Varietal denomination: cv. Meihandica.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of Rosa hybrida Miniature 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 product of the cross of the ‘Meineyta’ variety (non-patented in the United States) and an unnamed and unreleased seedling (non-patented in the United States). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the product of the cross of the ‘Meichanso’ variety (non-patented in the United States) and an unnamed and unreleased seedling (non-patented in the United States). The ‘Meineyta’ variety is marketed under the CUMBA MEILLANDIA trademark. The ‘Meichanso’ variety sometimes is known as the ‘Parador’ variety. The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
(‘Meineyta’×Unnamed Seedling)×(‘Meichanso’×Unnamed Seedling).
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 Miniature rose plant of the present invention displays the following combination of characteristics:
    • (a) exhibits a compact, low and bushy growth habit and is well adapted for forcing in pot culture,
    • (b) abundantly forms in clusters on a nearly continuous basis attractive cup-shaped blossoms that are ochre in coloration,
    • (c) forms attractive rather dense semi-glossy green foliage, and
    • (d) is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry. The new variety tends to blossom very early and nearly continuously thereafter. It can be grown in pots as well as in the landscape. For instance, it can be grown to advantage along walkways and in mixed border plantings. The semi-glossy green foliage contrasts well with the ochre blossom coloration.
The new variety of the present invention can be readily distinguished from its ancestors. The flower coloration is different in each instance. More specifically, the ‘Meineyta’ variety forms bicolored orange-yellow blossoms, and the ‘Meichanso’ variety forms Geranium Red flowers.
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 methods as performed in the South of France has shown that the characteristics of the new variety are strictly transmissible from one generation to another.
The new variety has been named ‘Meihandica’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
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 May while growing outdoors on their own roots at LeCannet des Maures, Var, France. Dimensions in centimeters are shown at the bottom of the photograph, as well as a color comparison.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The chart used in the identification of the colors is that of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S. Colour Chart). The description is based on the observation of approximately one-year-old specimens of the new variety during May while growing on their own roots outdoors at LeCannet des Maures, Var, France.
