Abstract
A new and distinct selection of French Hydrangea which shall be referred to hereinafter as Hydrangea macrophylla cultivar Monrey. Hydrangea macrophylla cultivar Monrey differs distinctively from other Hydrangea macrophylla plants by a unique combination of deep pink flower sepals with margins edged white, lustrous deep green foliage and foliage which turns a light burgundy color in cool weather.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct selection of Hydrangea macrophylla, a member of the Saxifragaceae family. Hydrangea macrophylla cv. Monrey was the result of a discovery of a naturally occurring branch sport of a proprietary Hydrangea in the test area at Monrovia Nursery Company, 18331 East Foothill Boulevard, Azusa, Calif.
My new discovery has been asexually reproduced vegetatively by cuttings since my discovery in May 1992 at 18331 East Foothill Boulevard, Azusa, Calif. Had this sport not been discovered and propagated it likely would have been lost to mankind. It is unlikely the select and favorable attributes of this plant could be conveyed to progeny through sexual reproduction in the next generation. However, through extensive propagation by rooting of the plant it has been established that the novel exceptional characteristics of this plant are stable and reliably passed on to clonal specimens through asexual reproduction.
Hydrangea macrophylla cv. Monrey has unusual rose pink flower sepals that are edged in white along the margins. This white margin is different from other Hydrangea macrophylla plants which typically possesses solid colored sepals. The overall effect of the white margins which defines each floret is a clean, clear appearance to the inflorescence.
The lustrous deep green foliage is a darker more intense olive green color when compared to other Hydrangea macrophylla plants. This deep green enhances the inflorescence by contrasting the colors. Cooler weather promotes a light burgundy color on the upper surface of the foliage. Even Southern California temperatures which rarely go below 35° F. will cause a light burgundy coloring which provides a lovely seasonal change.
My selection is cold hardy to U.S.D.A. Zone 7 which is equivalent to zero degree Farhenheit or a minus 17.8 degrees Celsius.
The accompanying illustration shows a typical specimen in bloom. The various stages of the inflorescences are displayed. Young florets emerge from buds with a yellow coloring which mature to a deep rose pink. The dark olive green foliage is portrayed and contrasts with the colors of the inflorescence.
Below is a detailed description of Hydrangea macrophylla cv. Monrey, the color terminology is from the British Horticultural Color Charts. Plant grown and observed in Azusa, Calif.
