Description

Description of the patent application Violet-flowered carnation cultivation The subject of the invention is a variety of carnations with new permanent wzd-in this permanent form reproducible properties, namely a variety of the in Germany Species called noble carnation (Dianthus carysphyllus) with purple flowers.

Since there are very few purple-blooming carnation varieties, presented the breeder is given the task of breeding a new purple-blooming carnation that has better horticultural properties than those already known Violet blooming carnation variety "Orchid Beauty".

For this purpose, the breeder carried out a cross in 1967 (hybridization or hybridization) between two diploids in his private collection Hereditary carriers (varieties) through, between the carnation variety 6 v 1 as the mother plant and in carnation variety 148 P as parent plant.

After several years of cultivation the resulting from this cross Cuttings and plants as well as the implementation of pre- and post-selections on them and their testing for consistency, the breeder achieved the desired breeding goal, by obtaining a carnation plant that was morphologically different from the "Orchid Beauty" variety due to the branched growth of the plant, larger flowers, which take on a spherical shape when blooming, lighter colors, their intensity of Flower to flower varied and shorter stems differed and physiologically through increased early maturity and greater productivity.

The characteristics and properties of this new variety of Nulken can be by the modern methods of vegetative propagation, in particular by Reproduce cuttings perfectly at any time. The milieu only creates a normal one little variation in phenotype.

The protection provided by those outlined above is under protection Breeding measures obtained new carnation variety as well as a method in which planting of the new variety are propagated vegetatively, in particular by cuttings that are about one or more stages have been obtained from the mother plant of the new variety, this mother plant in turn the result of the breeding measures indicated above has been. It is a process that, through its application to a certain genre as starting material, namely to that according to the invention The new carnation variety bred is identified, this new variety being identified by the particular method described above was obtained.

The use of the propagated is also placed under protection Carnation plants growing flowers as cut products.

The following description of the external features is based on a on January 28, 1971 carried out observation of plants of the new variety, the were relocated on August 10, 1970 after the cuttings had been removed.

The color terminology used below is taken from the catalog the "Horticultural color chart" of the Royal Horticultural Society.

Inflorescence: racemose, when blooming: diverging from the center.

BLOOD: general impression and dimensions: bloom with undivided or very little split keldh, very even and balanced, not at all or very much slightly inclined towards its axis, generally without sinking towards the center, invisible scars, the edges of the neatly serrated petals convey the Impression that the flower is ruffled.
