Abstract

A new variety of Miniature rose suitable for garden decoration, having flowers of incandescent pink coloration.

Description

Classification: The present invention relates to a new Rosa hybrida plant.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘WEKwisogoma’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Miniature Rose. It has as its seed parent the variety known as ‘SAVawin’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,691) and as its pollen parent the variety known as ‘KORfalt’ (not patented).
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 hairy receptacle, its very abundant bloom, its excellent color stability throughout the life of the flower and its moderately large flower size for the class. The plant has a rounded bushy 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. ‘WEKwisogoma’ 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, ‘SAVawin’ by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKwisogoma’ bears double flowers (about 15 to 24 petals) of incandescent pink coloration, ‘SAVawin’ bears double flowers of unusual spinel red coloration with significantly heavier petalage (about 30 to 36 petals). The new variety bears moderately large flowers for its class (about 5.1 to about 6.8 cm. in diameter), whereas the seed parent bears significantly smaller flowers (about 4.5 to about 5.1 cm. in diameter).
The new variety may be distinguished from its pollen parent, ‘KORfalt’ by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKwisogoma’ bears double flowers (about 15 to 24 petals) of incandescent pink coloration, ‘KORfalt’ bears double flowers of deep gold yellow coloration with significantly heavier petalage (about 25 to 30 petals).
COMPARISON WITH THE CLOSEST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE CULTIVAR
The new variety may be distinguished from its closest commercially available cultivar, ‘MORyou’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,200) by the following combination of characteristics: whereas ‘WEKwisogoma’ bears moderately large flowers for its class (about 5.1 to about 6.8 cm. in diameter) of incandescent pink coloration, ‘MORyou’ bears significantly smaller flowers (about 4.0 to about 4.5 cm. in diameter) of deep pink to medium red coloration. The new variety has a rounded bushy medium height to somewhat tall growing habit (about 72 to about 82 cm. in height), whereas the closest commercially available cultivar has a dwarf, bushy and upright significantly shorter growing habit (about 31 to about 36 cm. in height).
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 November. 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, sometimes in clusters of two to three per stem. Flowers may be borne in regular rounded clusters on strong short to medium length stems (about 9.0 to about 31.0 cm.). Outdoors, the plant blooms very abundantly and nearly continuously during the growing season. The flowers have a slight fruity to apple-like fragrance.
BUD
The peduncle is about 2.0 to about 5.1 cm. in length, of slender to average caliper (about 0.15 to about 0.2 cm. in diameter), and usually erect. It is somewhat rough, with many stipitate glands and few hairs. Peduncle color is between 146C and 146B often lightly suffused, especially on the side exposed to the sun, with between 187B and 183B.
Before the calyx breaks, the bud is about 0.8 to about 1.4 cm. in diameter at the widest point, about 1.3 to about 1.7 cm. in length, and pointed to somewhat ovoid in shape. The surface of the bud bears between 4 to 7 foliaceous appendages with some stipitate glands and few hairs, 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 146B often moderately suffused, especially on the side exposed to the sun, with between 187B and 187A.
The sepals are about 2.1 to about 3.1 cm. in length and about 0.6 to about 0.9 cm. in width at the widest point. The outer surface color of the sepal is between 146A and 146B often moderately suffused, especially on the side exposed to the sun, with between 187B and 187A. The inner surface color of the sepal is near 146C broadly bordered by near 139A. 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 many hairs.
The receptacle of the flower is of medium length (about 0.3 to about 0.5 cm.) and somewhat heavy in caliper (about 0.4 to about 0.7 cm. in diameter). The receptacle is urn-shaped in form. Its surface is smooth with some hairs and with moderately thin fleshy walls. The receptacle color is between 144A and 146B sometimes lightly suffused, especially on the side exposed to the sun, with between 187B and 183B.
As the petals open (after the calyx breaks), the bud is about 1.3 to about 1.7 cm. in diameter at the widest point, about 1.8 to about 2.6 cm. in length, and pointed to moderately ovoid in form. The color of the under surfaces of the newly opened petals is between 60A and 53A sometimes moderately suffused with between 187A and 187B. At the point where the petal attaches, there is a small zone of between 1D and 154D. The color at the base of the upper surface of the newly opened petals is between 24C and 28D gradually suffusing toward the middle of the petal with between 53C and 53D often moderately suffused with between 187B and 187A. At the point where the petal attaches, there is a moderately small zone of between 3C and 4B.
BLOOM
When fully open, the bloom ranges from about 5.1 to about 6.8 cm. in diameter. Petalage is double with about 15 to 24 petals and about 2 to 9 petaloids irregularly arranged. When partially open, the bloom form is ovoid to somewhat high centered, and the petals are loosely spiraled to somewhat cupped with petal edges moderately reflexed outward. When fully open, the bloom form is cupped, and the petals are loosely cupped with petal edges moderately reflexed outward.
PETALS
The substance of the petals is moderately heavy and of medium thickness, with upper surfaces moderately satiny to somewhat velvety and under surfaces slightly shiny to almost matte. The petals are about 2.1 to about 2.9 cm. in length and about 1.3 to about 3.1 cm. in width at the widest point. Petal margins are entire.
The outer petals are nearly rounded to somewhat obovate in shape with rounded apices.
The inner petals are obovate to moderately oblanceolate in shape with rounded apices.
Petaloids are about 0.8 to about 2.4 cm. in length and about 0.5 to about 1.4 cm. in width at the widest point. Petaloids are irregularly shaped moderately oblanceolate to somewhat subulate with rounded apices.

The upper surface color of the young leaf is between 137A and 144A, sometimes moderately suffused, usually on the edge of the leaflets, with between 187B and 183A. The under surface color of the young leaf is between 147B and 146B, sometimes lightly suffused with between 187B and 183A.
The rachis is somewhat light in caliper and moderately rough. The upper side is deeply grooved with few hairs and stipitate glands on the edges of the grooves. The under side of the rachis is moderately rough with very few stipitate glands and few small prickles. The rachis color is near 146C on the under side and near 137A on the upper side often moderately suffused on the young leaf with between 187B and 183A.
The stipules are about 0.8 to about 1.3 cm. in length and of medium width (about 0.3 to about 0.4 cm.) with somewhat short straight points that usually turn out at an angle of more than 45 degrees. The under and upper surface color of the stipule is between 137A and 137B.
The petiole is somewhat light in caliper and smooth. The upper side is deeply grooved with few hairs and stipitate glands on the edges of the grooves. The under side of the petiole is smooth with very few stipitate glands. The petiole is about 0.4 to about 0.8 cm. in length and about 0.1 to about 0.15 cm in width at the widest point. The petiole color is near 146C on the under side and near 137A on the upper side often moderately suffused on the young leaf with between 187B and 183A.
The plant displays an above average degree of resistance to powdery mildew and rust as compared to other commercial varieties grown under comparable conditions in Pomona, Calif. The plant's winter hardiness and drought/heat tolerance are yet to be determined.
GROWTH
The plant has a rounded bushy medium height to somewhat tall growing habit (about 72 to about 82 cm. in height and about 52 to about 62 cm. spread at the widest point), with very full branching. It displays vigorous growth and the canes are of moderately heavy caliper for the class (about 1.0 to about 2.0 cm. in diameter at the widest point).
The color of the major stems is between 146B and 146C. They bear few large prickles that are about 0.6 to about 0.9 cm. in length. The large prickles are angled moderately to somewhat hooked downward with a somewhat short moderately broad oval base; prickle color is between 164A and 166C. The major stem bears few small prickles of similar shape and coloration.
The color of the branches is between 146B and 147A. They bear few large prickles which are of similar shape to the large prickles on the major stems. The large prickles are about 0.4 to about 0.6 cm. in length. Prickle color is between 161B and 162B sometimes lightly suffused with near 187D. The branches bear no small prickles.
The color of the new shoots is between 146B and 147A sometimes moderately suffused with between 187B and 187A. They bear few large prickles which are of similar size and shape to the large prickles on the major stems; prickle color is between 153A and 151 A usually heavily suffused with between 187B and 187C. The shoots bear no small prickles.
