Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Rose plant named ‘Chewground’, characterized by its low mounding plant habit; glossy dark green-colored leaflets; vigorous and freely branching growth habit; red purple-colored single flowers; resistance to Black Spot and mildews; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Rosa hybrida cultivar Chewground.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Rose plant, botanically known as Rosa hybrida, commercially used as cut stems with fruits or hips, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Chewground’.
The new Rose is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Newport, Shropshire, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new shrub Rose varieties with disease resistance and attractive flower coloration.
The new cultivar originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1994 of the Rose cultivar Grouse, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Rose cultivar Yesterday, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Chewground was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1995 as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Newport, Shropshire, United Kingdom.
Asexual reproduction of the new Rose by softwood cuttings at Newport, Shropshire, United Kingdom since 1995, has shown that the unique features of this new Rose are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Chewground’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Chewground’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Low mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Glossy dark green-colored leaflets.
    • 3. Vigorous and freely branching growth habit.
    • 4. Red purple-colored single flowers.
    • 5. Resistant to Black Spot and mildews.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Rose are most similar to plants of the parent cultivars. Compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Grouse, plants of the new Rose flower only one time per season whereas plants of the cultivar Grouse flower recurrently. Plants of the new Rose and the male parent, the cultivar Yesterday, differ in plant form as plants of the cultivar Yesterday are more upright and larger. In addition, plants of the new Rose are more fragrant than plants of the cultivar Yesterday.
Plants of the new Rose can be compared to plants of the Rose cultivar Flower Carpet, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,282. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Grand Haven, Mich., plants of the new Rose differed from plants of the cultivar Flower Carpet in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Rose were more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Flower Carpet.
    • 2. Plants of the new Rose had a more intense flower color than plants of the cultivar Flower Carpet.
    • 3. Plants of the new Rose were more fragrant than plants of the cultivar Flower Carpet.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Rose, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Rose.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Chewground’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Chewground’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new Rose has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Grand Haven, Mich., in an outdoor nursery and under commercial production practices. Plants were about four years old. The photographs and description were taken during the late summer. In the follwing description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
