Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea rose plant is provided that forms on a continuous basis attractive long-lasting fully double white blossoms which are pink at the margins. The strong spicy fragrance of the blossoms is particularly noteworthy. The buds are ovoid-shaped. The vegetation is very vigorous and leathery and the plant displays a bushy growth habit. The disease resistance is good. The plant is particularly well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in gardens.
Description
Botanical/commercial classification: Rosa hybrida/Hybrid Tea Rose Plant.
Varietal denomination: cv. Witharoma.
The new Hybrid Tea rose plant of the present invention was discovered during 1999 at Durham, N.C., U.S.A., while present in a nursery among plants of the ‘Hilaroma’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,494). The new plant was discovered as a spontaneous branch mutation of unknown causation that was found growing on a single plant of the ‘Hilaroma’ cultivar. I was attracted to the new plant primarily because of the distinctive appearance of the blossoms that were formed on a single branch. Had I not discovered and preserved this mutation, it would have been lost to mankind.
It was found that the new Hybrid Tea rose plant of the present invention:
-
- (a) exhibits a bushy growth habit,
- (b) forms in abundance on a continuous basis attractive long-lasting fully double white blossoms which are pink at the margins and display a strong spicy fragrance,
- (c) exhibits very vigorous vegetation,
- (d) displays very leathery green foliage having a matte finish, and
- (e) is particularly well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in gardens.
The new cultivar well meets the needs of the horticultural industry and can be grown to advantage to provide distinctive ornamentation in parks and gardens.
The strong spicy fragrance of the blossoms of the new cultivar is particularly noteworthy. The disease resistance is considered to be above average for a Hybrid Tea Rose plant.
The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from its ‘Hilaroma’ ancestor. For instance, the blossom coloration is considerably different than that of the ‘Hilaroma’ cultivar. More specifically, the ‘Hilaroma’ cultivar forms bicolored Naples Yellow blossoms edged with Venetian Pink on opening, which turn to Neyron Rose when fully open.
The new cultivar has been found to undergo asexual propagation by the rooting of cuttings at Durham, N.C., U.S.A. and at Wasco, Calif., U.S.A., by budding. Such asexual propagation by the above-mentioned techniques has shown that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and are strictly transmissible by such asexual propagation from one generation to another. Accordingly, the new cultivar undergoes asexual propagation in a true-to-type manner.
The new cultivar has been named ‘Witharoma’, and will be marketed under the SECRET'S OUT trademark.
The accompanying photograph shows as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same, in a color illustration of this character, a typical specimen of the new cultivar of the present invention during September, 2008. A fully open blossom of the new cultivar is depicted in detail. The illustrated specimen was approximately two years of age and had been asexually reproduced by budding Wasco, Calif., U.S.A.
The chart used in the identification of the colors is that of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S. Colour Chart) except where ordinary color terms are utilized. Such common color terms are to be accorded their customary dictionary significance. The description is based upon the observation of plants of the new cultivar having an age of approximately two years during the summer while being grown near West Grove, Pa., U.S.A.
