FR2538217A1 - New variety of ranunculus named fievre - Google Patents

Abstract

The new variety of Ranunculus, named FIEVRE, is suitable for commercial cut flower production and has improved form, colour and productivity when compared with other Ranunculus varieties. It has been obtained by artificial fertilisation of red flowers of the variety BARBAROUX with pollen from the rose-pink flowers of the variety PINK PERFECTION. The new variety has thin leaves which are erect, vertical and robust. Numerous, strong and rigid floral stems are produced from the base of the plant. The terminal flower head is held erect and is surrounded by smaller secondary floral buttons.

Description

-l 2538217 The present invention relates to a new variety of

  buttercup called FIEVRE which the breeder obtained during his studies and research tending to find new products capable of increasing the profits of horticulturalists, either by an easier sale of flowers, or by a greater productivity of plants. The new variety which is the subject of the present invention is different from all the other buttercups known before, and constitutes, with respect to these, an improvement, either by the shape and the color.

  of the flower, or for the very high productivity of the plants.

  The new variety which is the subject of the present invention was obtained by artificially fertilizing flowers of the variety known in the trade under the name of "BARBAROUX", with red flowers, with pollen of the variety "PINK PERFECTION", with pink flowers From the mother variety, "BARBAROUX", the new variety has taken on a lot of its color, which is however brighter than in the mother variety, due to the larger dimensions of the corollas From the father variety, "PINK PERFECTION", the new variety took vegetative form, giving rise to plants

  very tall and slender, very productive in cut flowers.

  Consequently, the new variety constitutes a new product capable of being exploited in industrial culture for the production of

  cut flowers intended for the markets.

  The new variety object of the present invention can be easily reproduced in any number of copies all identical to the original plant, by dividing the tuberous roots that each plant produces naturally, and by cultivating them

  then either in the open air or in a greenhouse.

  The plant described in the following description was cultivated under

  greenhouse, planted in August-September, and described in December Always refer to these season and growing conditions, whenever you want to compare the plant with the

  present description of possible differences which, as a result of

  different climatic or cultural conditions could arise between certain characters of the plant and the corresponding characters

  of the description, should be considered normal and not

  do not modify the essence of the present invention, at least until it is possible to identify the plant by means of all the

  characters mentioned in the description.

  The description of the colors in the description was made in

  accord with the tables of the "ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY COLOR CHART" 2 - from LONDON (indicated in the text by the initials RHS, followed by

the table number).
