'NOVarospop' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

'Novarospop' originated from the irradiation of in vitro cultures of the Rosa variety 'Meiggili' by gamma rays by the breeder Dr. Michael S. Dobres at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, USA in January 2007.

United States - Patent No: PP 24,773 on 19 Aug 2014 VIEW USPTO PATENT
Application No: 13/507,960 on 9 Aug 2012

Inventors: Dobres; Michael S. (Philadelphia, PA)
A radiation-induced sport of MEIggili (Peach Drift)
The new variety of Rosa hybrida shrub rose plant of the present invention was derived from the ‘MEIggili’ Rosa hybrida variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,542) through the use of mutagenesis followed by selection. More specifically, during January 2007 tissue cultured shoots of the ‘Meiggili’ variety were subjected to gamma radiation to form a population of plants which included various mutations. The resulting plants were rooted and transplanted during May 2007. Such plants thereafter were carefully studied and evaluated. A single invention was selected in view of its distinctive phenotype.
