USPP29746P3 - Shrub rose plant named ‘Noa1112130’ - Google Patents

Abstract

A new and distinct Rosa cultivar, for garden use named ‘Noa1112130’ is disclosed, characterized by full, double, creamy pastel yellow-orange petals with fragrance and very good repeat flowering. Plants have excellent resistance to blackspot, powdery mildew, downy mildew and rust diseases. The foliage is very glossy and it contrasts well to creamy yellow flowers. The new variety is a Rosa, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Rosa hybrida.

Variety denomination: ‘Noa1112130’.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The new Rosa cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Reinhard Noack, conducted in Gutersloh, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to create a new and distinct shrub rose plants with unique qualities such as, uniform growth and full flowering in combination with fragrance. Additionally, the inventor sought to create new varieties with abundant, attractive, recurrent flowers and attractive, abundant foliage as well as excellent resistance to diseases encountered in landscapes and gardens. These objectives have been substantially achieved and in that distinguish ‘Noa1112130’ from all other varieties of which the inventor is aware. This combination of qualities is not present in prior rose cultivars known to the inventor. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during April of 2008.

The seed parent is the unpatented, commercial variety Rosa ‘Charisma’. The pollen parent is the unpatented, unnamed proprietary Rosa hybrida. The new variety was discovered in April of 2009 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the 2008 crossing, in a research greenhouse in Gutersloh, Germany.

Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was performed by terminal semi-soft wood vegetative cuttings. This was first performed at a research greenhouse in Gutersloh, Germany in Summer of 2010 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The cultivar ‘Noa1112130’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘Noa1112130’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Noa1112130’ as a new and distinct Rosa cultivar:

• • 1. Pastel, creamy yellow-orange flower color.
  • 2. Full, double flowers.
  • 3. Plants have excellent resistance to blackspot, powdery mildew, downy mildew and rust diseases.
  • 4. The flowers are strongly fragrant.
  • 5. The leaves are very glossy.

Plants of the new cultivar ‘Noa1112130’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘Noa1112130’ differ in the following:

• • 1. The new variety has creamy pastel yellow-orange petals, ‘Charisma’ has red-pink flowers.
  • 2. While both varieties are double flowering, new variety has a fuller flower, with more petals.
  • 3. The growth habit of the new variety is shrubby, the growth habit of ‘Charisma’ is upright.

Plants of the new cultivar ‘Noa1112130’ are similar to plants of the pollen parent in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘Noa1112130’ differ in the following;

• • 1. The new variety has creamy pastel yellow-orange petals, the pollen parent has orange flowers.
  • 2. Plant habit of the new variety is shrubby, plant habit of the pollen parent is upright.
  • 3. Flowers of the new variety are fragrant, flowers of the pollen parent have no fragrance.

COMMERCIAL COMPARISON

Plants of the new cultivar ‘Noa1112130’ can also be compared to the commercial variety Rosa ‘Noa1811108’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 15/530,436), filed concurrently. These varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, ‘Noa1112130’ differs in the following:

• • 1. The new variety has creamy pastel yellow-orange petals, this comparator has pink flowers.
  • 2. Flowers of ‘Noa1112130’ typically have 60 to 65 petals, flowers of ‘Noa1811108’ typically have 80 to 90 petals.
  • 3. Plants of ‘Noa1112130’ are approximately 110 cm in height, plants of ‘Noa1811108’ are typically 70 to 90 cm in height.

Plants of the new cultivar ‘Noa1112130’ can also be compared to the commercial variety Rosa ‘Noa38121’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 15/530,434), filed concurrently. These varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, ‘Noa1112130’ differs in the following:

• • 1. The new variety has creamy pastel yellow-orange petals, this comparator has dark pink (red-purple) flowers.
  • 2. Plants of ‘Noa1112130’ are approximately 110 cm in height, plants of ‘Noa38121’ are typically 60 to 80 cm in height.
  • 3. Flowers of the new variety typically are smaller, with a diameter of 8 to 9 cm, compared to the flowers of ‘Noa38121’ which typically have a diameter of 10-12 cm.
