Abstract
Shrub rose plant having a robust and very branching growth habit; large, rosette-shaped flowers, cupped at first, peals reflexing later having a soft apricot color, paling to pale cream on outer petals; and freely produced flowers at the ends of slightly arching stems.
Description
Rosa hybrida.
‘AUSQUEST’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of rose plant of the shrub class which was originated by me by crossing an unnamed seedling, with the variety ‘AUSgold’, (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,688).
The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having a very free-flowering and healthy plant with flowers of the classic English rose shape and with a good fragrance.
The objective was substantially achieved, along with other desirable improvements, as evidenced by the following unique combination of characteristics that are outstanding in the new variety and that distinguish it from its parents, as well as from all other varieties of which I am aware:
1. Robust and very branching shrub;
2. Large, rosette-shaped flowers, cupped at first, petals reflexing later;
3. Soft apricot color, paling to pale cream on outer petals; and
4. Freely produced flowers at the end of slightly arching stems.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding on Rosa dumetorum laxa rootstock, as performed at Albrighton, England, shows that the foregoing and all other characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
‘AUSquest’ differs from its seed parent in that the latter has rose pink flowers compared to ‘AUSquests’ apricot colored flowers and differs from its pollen parent which has rounded flowers as compared to ‘AUSquest's’ rosette-shaped flowers.
‘AUSquest’ differs from ‘AUSbaker’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/705,463, filed Nov. 2, 2000), the most similar variety, in that ‘AUSquest’ is broad and bushy with medium green foliage whereas ‘AUSbaker’ has a large, arching growth habit and has dark green foliage.
The accompanying illustration shows typical specimens of the vegetative growth and flowers of this new variety in different stages of development, depicted in color as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.
The following is a detailed description of my new rose cultivar with color descriptions using terminology in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society (London) Colour Chart, except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated.
