Description

Description of the Rotbiühende carnation breeding.

The subject of the invention is a noble carnation variety with new permanent ones and in this permanent form reproducible properties, namely a variety of Species called noble carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus) with intensely red flowers, the color of which is retained even in winter.

It was the breeder's intention to produce an intensely red-flowered uniform To breed noble carnation, unlike many other red-flowered varieties as well retains its hue in winter.

The variety of carnation, which is the subject of this patent application, is the result of one of many. Red Carnation Plants Selection Study. It was created by rearing a cutting from a bud mutation the variety "Don Diablo" (BAROPAT) emerged.

The external characteristics of the new variety of carnation differ from the characteristics of the "Don Diablo" variety by an even larger flowering of more intense and persistent red hue, with few or none on the petals small white stripes are located and the leaves are in average wider and the productivity is slightly lower than that of the "Don Diablo" variety. Compared to the variety l'Scania ", the new variety has a more extensive flowering, more rounded petals, lower productivity and one that starts less early Flowering period.

Let the characteristics and properties of this new variety of carnations through the modern methods of vegetative propagation, in particular by cuttings, reproduce perfectly at any time if you follow the normal through the variability of the location is taken into account.

The protection provided by those outlined above is under protection New carnation varieties obtained from breeding measures and their vegetative propagation, especially by cuttings that take one or more stages from the mother plant the new variety was obtained. Use is also placed under protection the flowers growing from the increased carnation plants as cut goods.

The following description was written on October 27, 1972 based on observations on plants that were moved to the greenhouse on July 1st, after cuttings were taken.

The color terminology corresponds to the information in the Horticultural color catalog Color Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) PLANT: Growth: Health status flawless, strong and vigorous with upright growth. The foliage is at the base more exuberant. The main stem is very short. There are 3 to 5 main branches the be extended by an inflorescence and which in turn, especially at the base, are branched.

Height: about 85 to 95 cm from the ground to the flower at 4 months old Plant root system: Growing conditions: Clay and calcareous soil with sufficient 20 cm humus layer in a raised box bed.

Roots in tufts, medium-sized, yellowish-brown; the thickest roots are 2.4 mm main stem: medium length: variable depending on the height of the cutting; middle Diameter: 0.6 to 1 cm.

The length to the first branch varies from 1 to 4 cm.

Pedicels: they are erect, rather thick and stiff, little brittle. In full bloom they are slightly inclined.

Average length: 75 cm Shape: sub-cylindrical, at the tip insignificant thickening can occur.

Knot distances: on the cut stem at the point of attachment of a Higher order branching: number: 16 to 19 (average 17).

The first node distance is considered to be the space between the two chaff leaves of the calyx and the first pair of leaves below the flower.

Node: rather elliptical, fairly strong thickening growth the node distances from the stem base: from the 1st to the 2nd distance very quickly, from the 2nd to the 2nd

to 8. Nodal spacing - fairly constant, regular growth from 9. to 1-4. Distance and decreasing from the 15th to flowering.

Length of the different node distances: from bottom to top: 0.5 up to 1 cm; 1.3 to 3.5 cm; 2 to 3.6 cm; 2.2 to 3.5 cm; 2.2 to 3.6 cm; 2.3 to 4 cm; 2.3 to 4.2 cm; 3.1 to 4.6 cm; 4.3 to 5.9 cm; 5.3 to 7 cm; 5.5 to 6.9 cm; 6 to 8.2 cm; 6 to 9.5 cm; 7 to 11 cm; 5.8 to 8.3 cm; 3.2 to 5.9 cm.

Average length of the longest knot distance: 10 cm.

LEAVES: Shape: broad and rising from the stem, tip of the leaf curled up or sloping slightly; the outer end has a sharp herbaceous tip, which dries up; too tubular at the point of attachment, concave at the outer tip until flat.

Growth: different in length to the base; even up to the 10th sheet Growth, then decreasing to the base fairly quickly.

Size: maximum width: average 1.57 cm (1.4 to 1.7 cm), Maximum length: average 17.3 cm (15.3 to 19.6 cm) The longest sheet is very often the tenth.

Ribs: only the midrib is visible and very on the underside pronounced color: leaves: RIS 189A - greyish-green nodes: RHS 145D - yellow-green Stem: RHS 189C - greyish-green BUDS: Shape: conical when formed, conical when opened of the sepals oval, base more or less broad Number: 3 to 5 per stalk, inflorescence: grape-shaped; the terminal bud on the stem is from the first or second lateral Bud towering above; when blossoming: diverging from the center.

BLOOD: Overall impression and dimensions: it is the medium-sized one Flower that remains alone on the stem after the buds have been removed. It is intended for sale as a cut flower. It is a large bloom with in general unsplit calyx and dense corolla, no depression towards the center. It has invisible, intensely red-colored scars, permanent and uniform Shade of color and rather flat bracts, which slightly open up when they open lower and thereby give the flower a spherical appearance.

Size: average diameter 8.3 cm, average height of the corolla: 4 to 6 cm when fully open.

Blooming: in general the flowers open evenly, whereby the petals still grow and incline somewhat, which gives the flower a harmonious appearance gives a spherical appearance. It happens that the largest flowers are at the beginning open asymmetrically and the petals stand up more vertically on one side than on the other side; towards the middle of the flowering period, however, the symmetry becomes restored.

Inflorescence: 4 scales each two and two opposite each other and grown together at the base; membrane-like at the edges, closed by a green triangle, whose tip has dried up, GOBLET: shape: bell-shaped and sometimes jug-shaped, generally unsplit; Spikes: 5 spikes 0.8 to 1 cm long with membrane-like Edges too parched to the tip.

Stripes: parallel, lighter green, quite a bit in the middle clearly visible.

Average height of the perianth plus calyx to the point of curvature of points: 2.4 cm CROWN: Number of petals: average 71 (from 66 to 80).

Cover sheets: Number: about a dozen (from 9 to 12) Size: maximum 4 x 6 cm Shape: generally thick leaf blades with symmetrical wings, fairly flat, edges sometimes slightly wavy, discrete contours, very fine serrations, The throat not discolored, with a protruding central rib of a light green color Central petals: leaf blade decreases towards the center, quite wrinkled looking, the petals are more and more vertical towards the middle, no discoloration, not even with the smallest parts structure: satined, something on the underside matt scent: perceptible Color: intense red, very evenly, towards the throat of flowers to a little less glossy, a little more dull on the underside; Color group RHS 45A and 45B red, near the throat RHS 45C.

Androeceum: a dozen stamens, very often reduced to one Section of stamen that is too white towards the bottom and pink towards the top, some withered anthers.

GyfTeceum: ovary flame-shaped, ribbed, pale green, on the upper Partly yellowish Styles: 2 to 3, pink colored with whitish cockscomb-like Processes in the middle area. SHELF LIFE OF THE BLOOD: in October in the vase at constant weather and a temperature of about 230: 14 days FLOODABILITY: quite lush and continuous throughout all seasons.

RESISTANCE: corresponds to that of most carnations that Sports from "William Sim are.

REPRODUCTION: error-free repetition by cuttings, on average 80 to 90%.

PICTURAL REPRESENTATION: the photo shows the flower from the front and from the Side, four bracts (petals) 2 images of the calyx and two images of the ovary with styluses.
