Solution Overview

Problem

Current Floribunda rose varieties lack compact growth habits and disease tolerance, limiting their ornamental value and adaptability in diverse landscaping settings.

Innovation Solution

Development of the 'SPROLEMANGO' Floribunda rose variety through artificial pollination, resulting in a plant with semi-double, apricot-colored blossoms, compact growth, vigorous vegetation, dark green glossy foliage, and good disease tolerance, achieved through selective breeding and stable asexual propagation methods.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional Floribunda rose varieties are used, then they have upright growth habit and larger size, but they lack compact growth habit and disease tolerance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease toleranceVSAvoidgrowth habit adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by selectively breeding roses to alter growth habit parameters from upright to compact, and by selecting for enhanced disease tolerance. The 'SPROLEMANGO' variety exhibits these changed parameters through controlled pollination and selection of parent plants with desired traits, resulting in a new variety with compact growth and improved disease resistance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If selective breeding is performed to achieve compact growth habit, then ornamental value is improved, but breeding time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveornamental valueVSAvoidbreeding time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-selecting parent plants that possess the desired compact growth habit and other ornamental traits before performing the cross-pollination. The parent plants were carefully chosen and studied in advance to ensure they would contribute the desired characteristics to the offspring, thereby streamlining the breeding process and reducing the time required to develop the new variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
