Abstract

A variety of rose plant of the shrub class, named ‘AUSpital’. The ‘AUSpital’ is a variety of an uplifting, healthy, and robust medium sized, upright rose shrub bearing unusual, open cupped flowers of soft yellow, borne in well-spaced sprays having a light Myrrh fragrance.

Description

Classification: The present invention relates to a new Rosa hybrida shrub of the market class ‘English Rose’.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘AUSpital’.
ORIGIN OF INVENTION
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant named ‘AUSpital’, which was originated from the cross-pollination of the two ‘unnamed’ and unpatented seedlings of Rosa hybrida.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce an uplifting, healthy, and robust medium sized, upright rose shrub bearing unusual, open cupped flowers of soft yellow, borne in well-spaced sprays having a light Myrrh fragrance.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Among the features which distinguish the new variety from others presently available and commercial rose cultivars known to the inventor are the following combination of characteristics: repeat flowering medium sized, double blooms of soft yellow bloom color with a light Myrrh fragrance and having very good disease resistance.
Asexual reproduction of the new variety by budding as performed in Albrighton, United Kingdom shows that the foregoing and other distinguishing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations. ‘AUSpital’ may be asexually propagated by budding. The budding successfully occurred on an unpatented plant/rootstock Rosa dumetorum ‘Laxa’ for the observed plants.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
The maternal and paternal parents of ‘AUSpital’ are two unnamed seedlings. The new rose may be distinguished from its seed parent, by the following combination of characteristics: the seed parent is of an apricot color compared to the yellow of ‘AUSpital’, has larger flowers, and has larger foliage when compared to ‘AUSpital’. The new rose may be distinguished from its pollen parent, by the following combination of characteristics: the pollen parent is of an apricot color, has semi-double blooms as opposed to the double blooms of ‘AUSpital’, and is a much larger shrub when compared to ‘AUSpital’.
COMPARISON WITH THE CLOSEST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE CULTIVAR
The closest commercially available cultivar to the new variety is an unpatented variety ‘AUSeasel’. While both blooms are of soft yellow in color, ‘AUSeasel’ has an overall color of RHS 4D (yellow group), and ‘AUSpital’ has an overall color of RHS 10B (yellow group). The bloom diameter of ‘AUSeasel’ measuring at about 8 cm per bloom, is larger than that of ‘AUSpital’ measuring at about 5.75 cm. In addition, ‘AUSeasel’ has fewer petals of about 45 per bloom than ‘AUSpital’, which has about 54 petals per bloom. Finally, when the sepals first divide on a flowering bloom, ‘AUSeasel’ presents a color of RHS 60C (red group), with RHS 145C (yellow-green group), while ‘AUSpital’ has a color of RHS 12C (yellow group).
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 (2001) except where common terms of color definition are employed. The illustration is of 7-year-old rose plants of the new variety.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY

The following description is of 7-year-old rose plants of the new variety grown in a garden environment in Albrighton, United Kingdom in the month of July. Phenotypic expression may vary with environmental, cultural and climatic conditions, as well as differences in conditions of light and soil.
