WEKsurdicla Ground Cover Rose Low Spreading Habit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current rose cultivars lack a variety with a low spreading growing habit and unique yellow edged pink flower coloration, along with medium flower size, making them unsuitable for specific garden decoration needs.
Innovation Solution
The new Rosa hybrida variety 'WEKsurdicla' combines a low spreading growth habit with medium-sized, double yellow edged pink flowers, distinguishable from its parents and closest commercial cultivars, and exhibits resistance to powdery mildew and rust, suitable for asexual propagation by budding and grafting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If current rose cultivars are used for garden decoration, then they provide various flower colors and sizes, but they lack a low spreading growing habit suitable for ground cover applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by selectively breeding roses to alter the growth habit parameter from upright to low spreading, achieving a height of only 12-18 inches while maintaining flower quality. This parameter transformation enables the rose to fulfill ground cover requirements while preserving ornamental value.
2Ease of manufacture
If current rose cultivars are used, then they provide various flower characteristics, but they lack the unique yellow edged pink coloration with medium flower size
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a specific color pattern where the petal edges are yellow and the centers are pink, rather than using a single uniform color. This localized color differentiation makes the flower visually distinctive while maintaining medium size suitability for ground cover applications.
3Stability of the object's composition
If roses are propagated asexually to maintain characteristics, then the distinguishing features are transmitted, but disease resistance may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by incorporating disease resistance traits into the breeding program before asexual propagation. The rose cultivar is developed with inherent resistance to powdery mildew and rust through selective breeding, ensuring that when propagated asexually, both the distinctive characteristics and disease resistance are simultaneously transmitted to maintain reliability.
