Climbing rose plant named ‘Poulcy035’

A new garden rose plant of the Climbing class which has abundant, orange red flowers and attractive foliage. This new and distinct variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention constitutes a new and distinct variety of garden rose plant which originated from a controlled crossing between the female seed parent, an unnamed seedling, and the male pollen parent, also an unnamed seedling. Both of the parent varieties are non-patented.

The two parents were crossed during the summer of 2007 and the resulting seeds were planted in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark. The new variety, named ‘Poulcy035’, originated as a single seedling from the stated cross.

The new variety may be distinguished from its male pollen parent and female seed parent by the following characteristics. The male pollen parent plant has dark red flowers, and grows to 45 cm in height in one season, while the claimed plant has orange red flowers and grows to a height of 120 cm in one season. The female seed parent plant has flowers which are about 25 mm in diameter and grows to a height of 65 cm in one season, while the new variety has flowers which are 45 mm in diameter and grows to a height of 120 cm in one season.

The objective of the hybridization of this rose variety was to create a new and distinct variety for garden use with unique qualities, such as:1. Uniform and abundant orange red flowers;2. Vigorous, but compact growth when propagated both as a budded rose and on its own roots;3. Exceptional disease resistance.4. Reduced apical dominance in flowering habit. The new variety consistently produces flowers evenly from the lower branches to the top of the plant.5. Has a climbing habit, yet more compact than traditional climbing roses.

This combination of qualities is not present in previously available commercial cultivars of this type, known to the inventor, and distinguish ‘Poulcy035’ from all other varieties of which we are aware.

As part of the rose development program, Mogens N. Olesen germinated the seeds from the aforementioned hybridization during winter of 2007 and conducted evaluations on the resulting seedlings in a controlled environment in Fredensborg, Denmark. ‘Poulcy035’ was selected in the spring of 2008 by the inventor as a single plant from the progeny of the aforementioned hybridization.

Asexual reproduction of ‘Poulcy035’ by traditional budding and rooted cuttings was first done by Mogens N. Olesen in the nursery in Fredensborg, Denmark in July, 2008. This initial and other subsequent asexual propagations conducted in controlled environments have demonstrated that the characteristics of ‘Poulcy035’ are true to type and are transmitted from one generation to the next.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIETY

The following is a description of ‘Poulcy035’, as observed in its growth in a field nursery in Marion County, Oreg. Observed plants are 2 years of age, and were grown on their own roots. Color references are made using The Royal Horticultural Society (London, England) Colour Chart, 2001, except where common terms of color are used.

For a comparison, several physical characteristics of the rose variety ‘Poulyc009’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,411 are compared to ‘Poulcy035’ in Chart 1.
