Abstract

A variety of rose plant of the shrub class, named ‘AUSvibrant’ is disclosed. The ‘AUSvibrant’ rose is a plant suitable for repeat flowering production having large deeply cupped blooms having a color blend of deep magenta, pink and red, with an unusual fragrance which develops from Tea into Old Rose.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The current application claims priority to a United Kingdom Breeder's Right Certificate Application No. AFP 5/2108 filed Nov. 18, 2008, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Classification: The present invention relates to a new Rosa hybrida shrub.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘AUSvibrant’.
ORIGIN OF INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant named ‘AUSvibrant’, which was originated by crossing two unnamed, unpatented varieties of Rosa hybrida.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a flowering variety having large deeply cupped blooms with many petals arranged in an informal way, and having a deep magenta color.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
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 deeply cupped blooms having a color blend of deep magenta, pink and red, with an unusual fragrance which develops from Tea into Old Rose.
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. ‘AUSvibrant’ 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.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, by the following combination of characteristics: whereas the seed parent has medium-sized pink blooms and upright short growth, ‘AUSvibrant’ produces a much larger bloom of deep magenta. The new variety is classified as a hybrida rose.
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, by the following combination of characteristics: whereas the pollen parent bears smaller crimson blooms with few petals, ‘AUSvibrant’ bears large size flowers of deep magenta having many petals.
COMPARISON WITH THE CLOSEST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE CULTIVAR
The closest commercially available cultivar to the new variety is the ‘AUSintense’ (U.S. Pat. No. 16,763). The new rose may be distinguished from the ‘AUSintense’ variety by the following combination of characteristics: the ‘AUSintense’ has a quartered shallow cup and smaller blooms compared to ‘AUSvibrant’, which has broader blooms having a deep cup and bearing more rounded petals. In addition, the ‘AUSintense’ variety has a strong Old Rose fragrance, while the ‘AUSvibrant’ starts out as Tea and develops into Old Rose.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
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.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
