Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Rose plant named ‘Esm Nacar’, characterized by its upright and moderately strong flowering stems; moderately vigorous growth habit and high productivity; early flowering habit; large creamy white-colored flowers that are typically grown as single stems; and excellent postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Rosa hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘ESM NACAR’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Rose plant, botanically known as Rosa hybrida, commercially used as a cut flower Rose plant, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Esm Nacar’.
The new Rose plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new freely-flowering cut flower Rose varieties with novel and attractive flower colors and excellent postproduction longevity.
The new Rose plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in February, 2002 of a proprietary Rose selection identified as code name Line 5, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Rose selection identified as code name Line 30, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Rose plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador in January, 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Rose plant by cuttings at El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador since October, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Rose plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Rose have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Esm Nacar’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Esm Nacar’ as a new and distinct Rose plant:
    • 1. Upright and moderately strong flowering stems.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit and high productivity.
    • 3. Early flowering habit.
    • 4. Large creamy white-colored flowers that are typically grown as single stems.
    • 5. Excellent postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Rose differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Rose are taller than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Flowering stems of plants of the new Rose have fewer thorns than flowering stems of plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Rose have larger flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 4. Plants of the new Rose and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have white-colored flowers.
    • 5. Flowers of plants of the new Rose open more fully than flowers of plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Rose differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Rose are taller than plants of male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Rose have smaller flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Rose and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have light pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Rose can be compared to plants of Rose ‘Tibet’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador, plants of the new Rose differed from plants of ‘Tibet’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Rose were shorter than plants of ‘Tibet’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Rose were not as vigorous as plants of ‘Tibet’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Rose flowered twelve days earlier than plants of ‘Tibet’.
    • 4. Flowers of plants of the new Rose had more petals than flowers of plants of ‘Tibet’.
    • 5. Flowers of plants of the new Rose had longer sepals than flowers of plants of ‘Tibet’.
    • 6. Plants of the new Rose had creamy white-colored flowers whereas plants of ‘Tibet’ had white-colored flowers.
    • 7. Flowers of plants of the new Rose were longer lasting than flowers of plants of ‘Tibet’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Rose plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Rose plant.
The photograph at the upper left of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering stem of ‘Esm Nacar’.
The photograph at the upper right of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Esm Nacar’.
The photograph at the bottom left of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Esm Nacar’.
The photographs at the bottom right of the sheet are close-up views of the upper and lower surfaces of typical leaves of ‘Esm Nacar’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants of the new Rose have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment conditions such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 10-liter containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in El Quinche, Pichincha, Ecuador and under typical hydroponic Rose production practices. Plants were pinched about 13 to 14 weeks after planting. Plants were 1.5 years old when the photographs and description were taken. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 30° C., night temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 16° C. and light levels ranged from 800 to 1,200 foot-candles.
