Abstract
A new and distinct regal Pelargonium with medium pink blooms with an eye and veining ranging from deep burgundy to candy pink accented by medium green foliage. The new cultivar has improved plant habit, cutting production, rooting speed, and flowering speed over ‘Josy’.
Description
This discovery relates to a new and distinct cultivar of regal Pelargonium (Pelargonium×domesticum) identified by the name of ‘Symphony’, Breeder No. 93-35-1 and Oglevee, Ltd. No. 29. The cultivar was discovered in an organized, scientifically design breeding program conducted at the Department of Horticulture, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Penna. The new cultivar is the offspring of two unpatented breeding cultivars, Breeder Nos. 90-139-7 (female) and 90-49-2 (male). The new cultivar is less compact than tht seed parent and the number of inflorescences are similar to both parents. The purpose of the breeding program was to create new regal Pelargonium genotypes with clear, bright flower colors, excellent propagation characteristics, compact growth habit, predictable and consistent flowering response and good postharvest quality. The new cultivar was produced from prior selections developed at The Pennsylvania State University since 1977. The pedigree of this cultivar includes the patented cultivars ‘Allure’ and ‘Fantasy’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,467 and 7,538, respectively) and other unpatented cultivars as shown in FIG. 2.
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by cuttings at The Pennsylvania State University and subsequently at Oglevee, Ltd., 152 Oglevee Lane, Connellsville, Penna. The new cultivar reproduces true and has been found to retain its distinct charcteristics through successive propagation.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Penna using full light, 60° F. night temperature, 68° F.day temperature and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer at 150-200 ppm nitrogen and potassium, has a response time from a rooted cutting to a flowering plant in a 6 inch pot of fourteen weeks. Rooted cuttings potted Oct. 15, 1997 flowered on Feb. 9, 1998.
FIG. 1 depicts a top perspective view of the new cultivar.
FIG. 2 depicts a flowchart of the pedigree of the new cultivar.
Colors depicted in FIG. 1 are as nearly true as is possible with a color illustration of this type.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Connellsville, Penna. The color readings on a plant grown in a 5 inch pot were taken indoors under 200-220 foot candles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London. The data was taken from plants 14 weeks old.
