Abstract
‘GRAsalm’ is a new and distinct floribunda type Rosa hybrid cultivar which is characterized by the combination of an upright to semi-weeping growth habit, complete resistance to Diplocarpon rosae, nearly continuous flowering, double-type salmon flowers with tinges of apricot in hot weather, a strong rose fragrance, and the stability of these characteristics from generation to generation. The new cultivar is generally suited to landscape applications.
Description
Latin name of genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein is Rosa hybrid.
Variety denomination: The inventive variety of Rosa hybrid disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘GRAsalm’.
This application claims priority to the Australian Plant Breeder's Rights application number 2015001, filed on Jan. 7, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Rosa hybrid, floribunda rose cultivar, which has been given the variety denomination of ‘GRAsalm’.
Parentage: ‘GRAsalm’ is a seedling selection which resulted from the controlled cross-pollination of an unnamed Rosa hybrid female breeding line and an unnamed Rosa hybrid male breeding line. Both parents, developed by the same inventor and never commercially released, exhibited traits deemed commercially significant and desirable.
After many years of trialing, the female parent was confirmed to possess a combination of desirable traits such as complete resistance to rose black spot disease, complete resistance to powdery mildew, and flowers with a strong citrus-like perfume borne on a bushy plant growing to 1.2 m tall and wide. The male parent was selected for use in breeding after trialing confirmed the presence of strong true-rose perfume and a bright, modern flower color. During the summer of 2010, the female parent was emasculated and was manually pollinated with pollen from the male parent. In autumn of 2010, seed was collected from hips produced by the female parent and a number of seedlings were grown to a mature size, including the claimed plant. These progeny were further evaluated for desirable traits such as black spot disease resistance and strong perfume, and in June of 2011 the claimed plant was first observed. In January of 2013, after further evaluation for desirable traits, the claimed plant was deemed to be garden-worthy and suited to widespread cultivation. It was given the denomination, ‘GRAsalm’.
Asexual Reproduction: Asexual propagation of ‘GRAsalm’, by way of softwood stem cuttings, was first performed in May of 2011 at the inventor's nursery in Highfields, Australia. Through greater than twelve subsequent generations, the unique features of this cultivar have proven to be stable and true to type.
The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Rosa cultivar ‘GRAsalm’. These traits, in combination, distinguish ‘GRAsalm’ as a new and distinct cultivar.
-
- 1. Rosa hybrid ‘GRAsalm’ exhibits an upright to semi-weeping growth habit; and
- 2. Rosa hybrid ‘GRAsalm’ exhibits complete resistance to the plant pathogen, Diplocarpon rosae, commonly referred to as rose black spot disease; and
- 3. Rosa hybrid ‘GRAsalm’ exhibits nearly continuous flowering; and
- 4. Rosa hybrid ‘GRAsalm’ exhibits a double flower type; and
- 5. Rosa hybrid ‘GRAsalm’ exhibits salmon colored flowers, with tinges of apricot in hot weather; and
- 6. Rosa hybrid ‘GRAsalm’ exhibits flowers with a strong rose fragrance.
The following observations and measurements, made in November of 2015, describe averages of two specimens of two year old ‘GRAsalm’ plants grown in red krasnozem soil, in full sun, at the inventor's nursery in Highfields, Australia. Temperatures ranged from approximately 12 to 35 degrees Celsius during the day and 3 to 18 degrees Celsius at night. Standard practices for irrigation, fertilizer and pest control were applied at appropriate times during the growing season. The plants were pruned in July of 2015 using accepted techniques for rose pruning.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, with younger plants. ‘GRAsalm’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Where dimensions, sizes, colors and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable. The phenotype of the variety may differ from the descriptions set forth herein with variations in environmental, climatic and cultural conditions. Color notations are based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, The Royal Horticultural Society, London, 2007 Fifth Edition except where common terms of color are used.
