Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Geranium plant named ‘Rozanne’, characterized by its large single violet-blue flowers with white centers and purple-violet veins, profuse flowering, vigorous yet relatively low growth habit, deeply cut and divided green leaves, and its long flowering period beginning in mid-June and continuing into early November or the first frost.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of hardy perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Geranium, a member of the Geraniaceae family, and known by the cultivar name ‘Rozanne’.
This new cultivar originated from a cross carried out by inventors Gomer Waterer and Rozanne Waterer in Kilve, Bridgewater, Somerset, England. The seed parent was a cultivar of Geranium wallichianum referred to as ‘Buxtons variety’. The pollen or male parent was an unnamed cultivar of Geranium himalayense.
The new cultivar was selected from the progeny of the stated cross by the inventors in Bridgewater, Somerset, England. Subsequent asexual reproduction by division performed by the inventor Paul Gooderham in Bressingham, England has established that the unique combination of characteristics as herein disclaimed for the new cultivar are fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment such as temperature, and light intensity without, however, any variance in the genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new cultivar, which in combination distinguish the new cultivar from others:
1. Its compact bush clump habit produces profuse and continuous flowering in England from mid-June through early November or until the first frost.
2. Large, single violet-blue flowers with white centers and prominent purple-violet veins.
3. The deeply cut divided green leaves make a pleasing backdrop to the many large single violet-blue flowers.
4. The plant thrives best in full sun and well-drained soil, and does not grow well in dry shade conditions. The new cultivar is ideal for use in borders and containers.
5. Vigorous yet relatively low growth and flowering habit.
6. The flowers have a classic “crane's bill” shape which characterizes the genus.
The flowers of ‘Rozanne’ are similar in shape to the parent ‘Buxtons Variety’ (unpatented), but the large single violet-blue flowers with white centers and purple-violet veins distinguish from ‘Buxtons Variety’. The leaves of ‘Rozanne’ resemble the leaves of the pollen parent both in shape and in the characteristic of retaining green foliage color well into the Autumn.
In the accompanying color photographs,
FIG. 1 comprises a front perspective view of plants of the new cultivar.
The photograph comprising FIG. 2 is a close-up view showing the single violet-blue flower with white center and purple-violet veins.
All color determinations and comparisons are based on The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Charts.
