Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named `Carisma Orange`, characterized by its dark green leaves; upright and outwardly spreading, uniform and symmetrical plant habit that is appropriate for container production; floriferousness with numerous intense orange-colored flowers with red throats; good resistance to flower bud abscission; and excellent postproduction longevity.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus, botanically known as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Carisma Orange. It is proposed that the new Hibiscus will be marketed under the name Paradise Breeze.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Alva, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Hibiscus cultivars having uniform and compact plant habits appropriate for container production, early and uniform flowering, numerous flowers per lateral branch, desirable flower color, resistance to flower bud abscission, and good postproduction longevity.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor in Alva, Fla., of a proprietary Hibiscus rosa-sinensis selection, designated as code number 602, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Hibiscus selection, designated as code number 211, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Carisma Orange was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla., on May 9, 1994.
Compared to plants of the female parent, the proprietary Hibiscus selection code number 602, plants of the new Hibiscus are more compact, flower about two weeks earlier, are more floriferous, and have a darker orange flower color. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ in flower color and have a less ruffled flower margin compared to plants of the male parent, the proprietary Hibiscus selection code number 211.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla., has shown that the unique features of this new Hibiscus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Carisma Orange has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, nutrition and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Carisma Orange`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Carisma Orange` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Dark green leaves.
2. Upright and outwardly spreading, uniform and symmetrical plant habit that is appropriate for container production.
3. Very freely flowering, numerous intense orange-colored flowers with red throats.
4. Good resistance to flower bud abscission.
5. Excellent postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the nonpatented cultivar Euterpe. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the cultivar Euterpe in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Hibiscus are more compact than plants of the cultivar Euterpe.
2. Plants of the new Hibiscus have smaller but more numerous flowers than plants of the cultivar Euterpe.
3. Plants of the new Hibiscus have a more intense orange flower color than plants of the cultivar Euterpe.
4. Flower throat color of plants of the new Hibiscus is lighter red in color than plants of the cultivar Euterpe.
5. Plants of the new Hibiscus flower about 18 days earlier than plants of the cultivar Euterpe.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical plant of `Carisma Orange`.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of `Carisma Orange`. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
