Abstract
A new cultivar of Rosmarinus plant named ‘Lowros12’ that is characterized by its arching stems, its aromatic foliage, its large bright blue flowers in spring that are spread apart from each other on the stem, and its floriferous blooming habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Rosmarinus officinalis.
Variety denomination: ‘Lowros12’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Rosmarinus officinalis and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Lowros12’. ‘Lowros12’ is an evergreen shrub grown for landscape, container, and culinary use.
The new Rosmarinus arose from a breeding program conducted by the Inventor at a nursery in Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program was to develop a new Rosmarinus cultivar with an abundance of flowers.
The new Rosmarinus originated from open pollination of Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Fox Tail’ (not patented) in 2009. The male parent is therefore unknown. ‘Lowros12’ was selected as a unique single plant from the progeny resulting seedlings in 2012.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the inventor by stem cuttings in March of 2017 in Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom. Asexual propagation by stem cuttings has shown that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Lowros12’ as a unique cultivar of Rosmarinus.
-
- 1. ‘Lowros12’ exhibits arching stems.
- 2. ‘Lowros12’ exhibits aromatic foliage.
- 3. ‘Lowros12’ exhibits large bright blue flowers in spring that are spread apart from each other on the stem.
- 4. ‘Lowros12’ exhibits a floriferous blooming habit.
The female parent, ‘Fox Tail’, is similar to ‘Lowros12’ in having arching stems. ‘Fox Tail’ differs from ‘Lowros12’ in having shorter stem internodes. ‘Lowros12’ can also be compared to the Rosmarinus cultivar ‘Blue Rain’ (not patented). ‘Blue Rain’ is similar to ‘Lowros12’ in having arching stems. ‘Blue Rain’ differs from ‘Lowros12’ in having flowers that are duller blue in color and in having a less floriferous blooming habit.
The Applicant asserts that no publications or advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale, or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor. The Applicant claims a prior art exemption under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) for disclosure and/or sales prior to the filing date but less than one year prior to the effective filing date.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of a 3-year-old plant of the new Rosmarinus as grown in a 21-cm container in Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a side view of ‘Lowros12’ in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of flowering stem ‘Lowros12’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Lowros12’.
The 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 Rosmarinus
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar of 3-year-old plants of the new Rosmarinus as grown in 21-cm containers Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2015 Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
