Meiscouby Floribunda Rose Breeding for Fast Repeat Bloom

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parent plants with specific desirable traits (deeper flower color, higher petal count, larger diameter) before performing the controlled cross-breeding. The female parent from the ('KORblue' x 'Delboip') cross and the male parent 'FRAntasia' were both carefully chosen to contribute specific characteristics, allowing the breeding process to move more efficiently toward the desired outcome without requiring multiple generations of selection.

The patent applies copying through asexual propagation methods where exact genetic copies of the selected rose plant are produced. Techniques such as budding create clones that are genetically identical to the parent plant, ensuring homogeneous and stable characteristics are transmitted from one generation to another without the variability introduced by sexual reproduction.

The patent applies periodic action by breeding the rose plant to exhibit repeat blooming characteristics, where the plant cycles through flowering periods rather than blooming once. The 'Meiscouby' variety was selected for its ability to bloom repeatedly with faster intervals between flowering cycles, allowing the plant to distribute its reproductive effort across multiple periods rather than concentrating it in a single blooming event.
