Choice of Comparators ‘Broadway’ was considered to be<br />
the closest comparator for its similarity in flower colour.<br />
The seed parent was excluded because of a shorter plant<br />
habit. The pollen parent ‘Aroyqueli’ syn Gold Medal was<br />
initially considered as a comparator but later was excluded<br />
because of the differences as stated above.<br />
Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Broadway’. Location:<br />
Swane’s Nursery, Narromine, NSW in Nov 1999.<br />
Conditions: plant were budded on root stocks and raised in<br />
open beds. Trial Design: completely randomised.<br />
Measurements: from 10 plants taken at random.<br />

Application No: 1998/078 Accepted: 3 Sept 1998<br />
Applicant: Week’s Roses, Upland, California. USA.<br />
Agent: Swane Bros Pty Ltd, Narromine, NSW.<br />
Characteristics (Table 48, Figure 11) Plant: growth habit,<br />
medium, bushy, upright, floribunda. Young shoot:<br />
anthocyanin colouration weak, colour reddish brown.<br />
Thorns: very few prickles, many long prickles, concave.<br />
Leaf: size medium, colour medium green, cross section<br />
slight convex, upper surface dull to weak gloss, margin<br />
undulation weak. Terminal leaflet: length long, width broad,<br />
base shape obtuse. Flower pedicel: few hairs and prickles.<br />
Flower bud: profile broad ovate. Flower: double, size<br />
medium, view from above round, side profile flat, upper<br />
flat, lower flat, fragrance medium. Sepal: extensions weak.<br />
Petal: size medium, colour of middle and marginal zone<br />
inner side RHS 155D and RHS 63A, middle and marginal<br />
zone outer side RHS 155D and RHS 63B, basal spot<br />
present, size small, colour RHS 4A, petal margin reflexing<br />
weak, undulation of margin absent or very weak, stamen<br />
filament yellow. Flowering habit: remontant. (Note: all<br />
RHS chart numbers refer to 1995 edition.)<br />
Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />
‘Playboy’ x pollen parent ‘JACraw’ in a planned breeding<br />
program. The seed parent produces single flowers of an<br />
orange blend colouration. The pollen parent bears medium<br />
sized flowers with only slight fragrance. Selection criteria:<br />
seedlings from the cross were grown and selection was<br />
made on the basis of unusual striped petal colouration.<br />
Propagation: vegetatively through many generations.<br />
Breeder: Thomas F. Carruth, Upland, California. USA.<br />
Choice of Comparator ‘Candy Stripe’ was considered to<br />
be the closest comparator for its similarity in the striped<br />
flower appearance. The parents were not considered<br />
because of the differences as stated above.<br />
