Abstract

A new variety of azalea characterized by its sturdy and generally upright growth habit, its Tea Rose-shaped red flowers, and its unusually early spring flowering.

Description

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This new variety of azalea was discovered in 1991 growing on a potted plant at the inventor's commercial nursery located in Beaverton, Oreg. The new variety is a spontaneous mutation of the "Peace" azalea, discovered as a limb sport. Subsequent asexual propagation by cuttings at the same location has demonstrated that the below-described valuable characteristics are genetically stable and hold true from generation to generation. The Peace azalea is a florist azalea of the Kerrigan hybrid species and is known to be available only from a limited number of commercial greenhouse growers in the Pacific Northwest.
The `Jean Panzer` azalea and its parent Peace azalea are identical in all aspects except flower color. The `Peace` flower is white compared to the red group #52B color of the `Jean` flower.
The forcing requirements and natural flower dates of the Peace azalea and the `Jean` azalea are identical. Neither variety has any fragrance. Flower fertility is unknown for either variety. The outdoor reaction for either variety is not known as both varieties are florist azaleas and are always grown in a greenhouse.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 shows the flower with the flower of the parent `Peace`.
FIG. 2 shows the plant potted.
FIG. 3 shows the blooming plant with the parent `Peace`.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE
The following is a detailed description of the new azalea variety based upon observations made in greenhouses located at the inventors nursery in Beaverton, Oreg. Where possible, precise color assessment has been made with reference to The Royal Horticulture Society Color Chart:

Growth: Medium grower, sturdy and generally upright; under greenhouse conditions will grow from a 2" cutting to a 10"×10" market-size plant in 30 months.
Branching: Well branched, with prolific branching tendencies.
Stem: Younger shoot color is yellow green group #144A, #144B or #144C; older stems are a woody bronze color.
Foliage: Abundant, generally alternate similar to the `Helmut Vogel` azalea; evergreen, foliage is retained through the year.

Sepals color:
When tight bud.--Yellow green #154C or #154D.
Calyx: Funnel-shaped with deep clefts, small, and pubescent.
Peduncle: Yellow green #144B, strong and upright, 1/4" to 1/2" long, and pubescent.
The Flower
Blooming habit: Flowering is in early spring.
