Abstract

A new and distinct Floribunda rose plant is provided which forms in abundance attractive blossoms that are deep greyed-purple on the upper surface and ocher yellow on the under surface. Such flower coloration is considered to be rather unusual. The greyed-purple petal coloration on the upper surface is so dark that it sometimes appears to be almost black upon casual observation. The plant exhibits strong vegetation, a semi-erect growth habit, and dark green foliage with a glossy upper surface. The disease tolerance is good particularly with respect to Oidium. The new variety is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in parks and gardens.

Description

Botanical/commercial classification: Rosa hybrida/Floribunda Rose Plant
Varietal denomination: cv. Meirysett
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of Rosa hybrida 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) was a product of the cross of the ‘Mme A. Meilland’ variety (non-patented in the United States) and the ‘Meipsilon’ variety (non-patented in the United States). The male parent (i.e., the pollen parent) was the ‘Delepi’ variety (non-patented in the United States). The ‘Mme A. Meilland’ variety sometimes is known as the ‘Climbing Peace’ variety. The ‘Meipsilon’ variety is marketed under the YAKIMOUR trademark, and the ‘Delepi’ variety is marketed under the EPIDOR trademark. The parentage of the new variety can be summarized as follows:
('Mme A. Meilland' בMeipsilon’) בDelepi’.
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 Floribunda rose plant of the present invention:
    • (a) exhibits a semi-erect growth habit,
    • (b) abundantly forms attractive blossoms that are deep greyed-purple on the upper surface and ocher yellow on the under surface,
    • (c) forms attractive dark green foliage that is glossy on the upper surface,
    • (d) displays good tolerance to disease, and
    • (e) is well suited for growing as ornamentation in parks and gardens.
The new variety well meets the needs of the horticultural industry and can be grown to advantage in the landscape where attractive ornamentation is desired. The flower coloration is considered to be rather unusual. The greyed-purple petal coloration on the upper surface is so dark that is sometimes appears to be almost black upon casual inspection.
The new variety can be readily distinguished from its ancestors. For instance, the blossoms of the ‘Mme A. Meilland’ variety are golden yellow edged with rose pink. The ‘Meipsilon’ variety forms cherry-red blossoms with a pale yellow reverse. The ‘Delepi’ variety forms deep yellow 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. Accordingly, the new variety undergoes asexual propagation in a true-to-type manner.
The new variety has been named ‘Meirysett’.
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 two years of age and were observed during October while budded on Rosa laxa understock and growing outdoors at Le Cannet des Maures, Var, France. Dimensions in centimeters are indicated at the bottom of the photograph together with comparative color information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The chart used in the identification of the colors is that of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S. Colour Chart), London, England. Common color terms are to be accorded their customary dictionary significance. The description is based on the observation of two-year-old plants during May while budded on Rosa laxa understock and outdoors at Le Cannet des Maures, Var, France.
