Abstract

A new variety of Hybrid Tea rose suitable for garden decoration, having flowers of ruby red coloration.

Description

Classification: The present invention relates to a new Rosa hybrida plant.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘WEKsiamia’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Hybrid Tea Rose. It has an undisseminated seedling of my creation as its seed parent with the following genetic origin (‘City of San Francisco’ (unpatented)בOlympiad’ (unpatented)) and has an undisseminated seedling of my creation as its pollen parent with the following genetic origin [‘Amalia’ (unpatented)×(‘Ingrid Bergman’ (unpatented)בAll That Jazz’ (unpatented))].
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from other presently available and commercial rose cultivars known to the inventor are the following combinations of characteristics: its red suffusion on the internal part of the anthers and filaments, its very large flowers and its mucronate leaf apice. The plant has an upright growing habit, suitable for outdoor garden decoration.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding as performed in Kern County and Pomona, Calif., shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations. ‘WEKsiamia’ may be asexually propagated by cuttings, budding and grafting. The budding and grafting successfully occurred on the plant/rootstock Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Dr. Huey’ (not patented).
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, an undisseminated seedling of my creation by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKsiamia’ bears very large sized (about 11.9 to about 18.3 cm. in diameter) double flowers (about 18 to 25 petals), the undisseminated seedling bears significantly smaller flowers (about 6.5 to about 9.0 cm. in diameter) with lesser petalage (about 11 to 16 petals). The new variety has an upright medium height growing habit (about 120 to about 155 cm. in height), whereas the seed parent has a significantly smaller rounded bushy growing habit (about 88 to about 105 cm. in height).
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, an undisseminated seedling of my creation by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKsiamia’ bears double flowers (about 18 to 25 petals) of ruby red coloration, the undisseminated seedlings bears double flowers of brilliant orangey-red coloration with significantly heavier petalage (about 29 to 33 petals). The new variety has an upright medium height growing habit (about 120 to about 155 cm. in height), whereas the pollen parent has a bushy significantly taller growing habit.
COMPARISON WITH THE CLOSEST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE CULTIVAR
The new variety may be distinguished from its closest commercially available cultivar, ‘WEKfrancoly’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,373) by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKsiamia’ bears double flowers (about 18 to 25 petals) of ruby red coloration, ‘WEKfrancoly’ bears double flowers of lasting red coloration sometimes with a green-white streak at the midrib of the outermost petals with significantly heavier petalage (about 27 to 32 petals). The new variety bears very large sized flowers (about 11.9 to about 18.3 cm. in diameter), whereas the closest commercially available cultivar bears significantly smaller range flower size (about 11 to about 15 cm. in diameter).
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 (1966) except where common terms of color definition are employed.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
The following description is of 3 to 4 year-old rose plants of the new variety grown outdoors in Pomona, Calif. in the month of October. Phenotypic expression may vary with environmental, cultural and climatic conditions, as well as differences in conditions of light and soil.
FLOWER
The new variety usually bears its flowers singly. Flowers are borne on strong short to medium length stems (about 13 to about 65 cm.). Outdoors, the plant blooms abundantly and nearly continuously during the growing season. The flowers have a slight tea to spicy fragrance.
BUD
The peduncle is about 5.1 to about 7.2 cm. in length, of average to somewhat heavy caliper (about 0.2 to about 0.4 cm. in diameter), and usually erect and somewhat stiff. It is moderately rough, with some stipitate glands. Peduncle color is between 146B and 146A often lightly suffused, especially on the side exposed to the sun, with between 187B and 187A.
Before the calyx breaks, the bud is about 1.0 to about 1.8 cm. in diameter at the widest point, about 2.1 to about 3.1 cm. in length, and pointed in shape. The surface of the bud bears few foliaceous appendages, some hairs and many stipitate glands, usually with slender entire foliaceous parts extending beyond the tip of the bud about ½ or more of its length. Bud color is between 146A and 138A sometimes lightly suffused, especially on the side exposed to the sun, with between 187B and 187A.
The sepals are about 3.2 to about 4.4 cm. in length and about 0.9 to about 1.4 cm. in width at the widest point. The outer surface color of the sepal is between 146A and 138A sometimes lightly suffused, especially on the side exposed to the sun, with between 187B and 187A. The inner surface color of the sepal is near 137C broadly bordered by near 137A. After the sepals open, the inner surface color is often heavily suffused, especially on the area exposed to the sun, with between 187A and 187B. The inner surface of the sepal is covered with fine wooly tomentum; sepal margins are lined with some stipitate glands and hairs.
The receptacle of the flower is of short length (about 0.3 to about 0.5 cm.) and moderately thin in caliper (about 0.7 to about 0.9 cm. in diameter). The receptacle is cup-shaped in form. Its surface is very smooth with somewhat thin fleshy walls. The receptacle color is between 144A and 138A.
As the petals open (after the calyx breaks), the bud is about 1.9 to about 2.4 cm. in diameter at the widest point, about 3.2 to about 3.9 cm. in length, and moderately ovoid to pointed in form. The color of the under surfaces of the newly opened petals is between 59A and 46A sometimes heavily suffused near the petal edge with near 187A. At the point where the petal attaches, there is a very small zone of between 1C and 154C. The color of the upper surfaces of the newly opened petals is between 187B and 46A. At the point where the petal attaches, there is a small zone of between 13B and 12B.
BLOOM
When fully open, the bloom ranges from about 11.9 to about 18.3 cm. in diameter. Petalage is double with about 18 to 25 petals and about 2 to 6 petaloids irregularly arranged. When partially open, the bloom form is somewhat high centered to cupped, and the petals are loosely spiraled to cupped with petal edges slightly reflexed outward. When fully open, the bloom form is more cupped, and the petals are loosely cupped to moderately undulated with petal edges somewhat reflexed outward.
PETALS
The substance of the petals is moderately heavy and of medium thickness, with upper surfaces slightly satiny and under surfaces moderately shiny. The petals are about 4.6 to about 8.7 cm. in length and about 3.7 to about 8.3 cm. in width at the widest point. Petal margins are entire.
The outer petals are nearly round to somewhat obovate in shape with rounded apices.
The inner petals are moderately obovate in shape with rounded apices.
Petaloids are about 0.5 to about 4.0 cm. in length and about 0.4 to about 3.4 cm. in width at the widest point. Petaloids are irregularly shaped somewhat obovate with rounded apices.
NEWLY OPENED FLOWER
The under surface color of the outer, intermediate and inner petals is between 53C and 46B. At the point where the petal attaches, there is a very small zone of between 3C and 4B. The upper surface color of the outer, intermediate and inner petals is between 45A and 42A sometimes lightly blushed toward the petal edge with between 187A and 187B. At the point where the petal attaches, there is a small zone of between 13B and 12B.
The under and upper surface colors of the petaloids are similar in coloration to the upper and under surfaces of the intermediate and inner petals.
The general tonality of the newly opened flower is between 45A and 42A sometimes lightly blushed toward the petal edge with between 187A and 187B.
THREE-DAY-OLD FLOWER
The under surface color of the outer, intermediate and inner petals is between 60D and 46C. At the point where the petal attaches, there is a very small zone of between 4D and 2D. The upper surface color of the outer, intermediate and inner petals is between 53C and 46C. At the point where the petal attaches, there is a small zone of between 10D and 11C.
The under and upper surface colors of the petaloids are similar in coloration to the upper and under surfaces of the intermediate and inner petals.
The general tonality of the three-day-old flower is between 53C and 46C.
On the spent bloom, the petals usually drop off cleanly.
In October in Pomona, Calif., blooms on the bush growing outdoors generally last about four to five days. Cut roses from plants grown outdoors and kept at normal indoor living temperatures generally last about four to five days.
MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
Stamens are many in number (average about 125) and are arranged regularly about the pistils; a few are mixed with petaloids. The filaments are of medium length (about 0.4 to about 1.0 cm.) most with anthers. Filaments are between 3B and 2B in color usually heavily suffused with between 53B and 53C. The anthers are moderately large for the class and all open approximately at the same time. Anther color when immature is near 22B on the external part and near 11D on the internal part often moderately suffused with between 59C and 60B. Anther color at maturity is near 161C on the external part and near 200B on the internal part. Pollen is moderately abundant and between 11B and 12D in color.
FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
