Climber rose plant named ‘JACadyna’

Abstract

Climber rose plant having a strong, vigorous climbing habit; glossy, disease resistant foliage; constant bloom during the growing season; large flower clusters; good bud form; and ability to grow vigorously on its own roots.

Description

Genus and species: Rosa hybrida.

Variety denomination: ‘JACadyna’.

ORIGIN OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of a climber rose plant named ‘JACadyna’ which was originated by me by crossing the variety ‘JACsat’ (Dynamite), U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,741, with the variety ‘JACclam’ (America), U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,682.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of this breeding was to produce a new rose variety having the vigor, climbing habit, large flower and bud form of the female parent combined with the climbing habit, clusters and constant bloom of the male parent.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

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. Strong, vigorous climbing habit.
  • 2. Glossy, disease resistant foliage.
  • 3. Constant bloom during the growing season.
  • 4. Large flower clusters.
  • 5. Good bud form.
  • 6. Ability to grow vigorously on its own roots.

Asexual reproduction of this new variety by cuttings, as performed at Wasco, Calif., shows that the foregoing and all other characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.

Comparison with Parents

The subject variety differs from the bright red female parent in flower color, production of larger clusters and faster repeat bloom. It differs from the salmon colored male parent in flower color.

Comparison with Similar Variety

The subject variety most closely resembles the male parent ‘JACclam’ (America) but differs in flower color.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATION

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.

DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

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 (2001), except where ordinary dictionary significance of color is indicated.
