Shrub Rose Spropom Continuous Blooming Hybrid
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current rose varieties, such as Hulthemia roses, often have unattractive growth habits and limited blooming, with most blooming only once a year and lacking desirable ornamental characteristics for landscape use.
Innovation Solution
A new landscape shrub rose variety, 'Spropom', is developed through artificial pollination of parents 'WEKblusi' and 'Auscot', exhibiting attractive reddish-purple semi-double blossoms, upright and bushy growth, vigorous vegetation, and glossy medium green foliage, suitable for continuous blooming and ornamental purposes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If Hulthemia roses are used, then they bloom only once a year, but this limits continuous ornamental display
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two different rose varieties ('WEKblusi' and 'Auscot') through controlled pollination to create a hybrid variety that merges the desirable traits of both parents, including continuous blooming capability and attractive foliage, thereby resolving the limitation of single-season blooming in Hulthemia roses
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the blooming parameter from single-season to continuous multi-season blooming through selective breeding, transforming the temporal pattern of flower production to achieve sustained ornamental display throughout the growing season
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional rose varieties are used, then they have limited ornamental characteristics, but this reduces landscape appeal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enhances specific local qualities of the rose plant including glossy medium green foliage, upright bushy growth habit, and multi-colored blossoms, creating superior ornamental characteristics in targeted areas of the plant while maintaining overall plant health and vigor
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite genetic structure by combining DNA from two different rose varieties, resulting in a hybrid plant that exhibits composite ornamental features including varied blossom colors, distinctive foliage characteristics, and improved growth habits that neither parent possessed alone
3Volume of moving object
If rose varieties with large growth habit are used, then they occupy more space, but this limits planting density in landscapes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a rose variety with dynamic growth characteristics that maintains an upright, bushy form optimized for space efficiency, allowing the plant to adapt its growth pattern to maximize vertical rather than horizontal space utilization, thereby enabling higher planting densities in landscape applications

AI summary
A new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant is provided which forms in abundance on a substantially continuous basis attractive semi-double blossoms that are reddish-purple with red coloration toward the center of the petals. The blossom size is large for the size of the plant. The vegetation is vigorous and strong and the growth habit is upright and bushy. Attractive ornamental glossy medium green foliage is formed. The plant is particularly well suited for growing in a Western landscape. Distinctive ornamentation is provided.
