Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Carnation plant named ‘Cantare’, characterized by its white-colored flowers; early and freely flowering habit; fragrant flowers; good postproduction longevity with flowers maintaining good substance and color for more than two weeks in an interior environment; and resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Carnation plant, botanically known as Dianthus caryophyllus and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Cantare’.
The new Carnation is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new cut Carnation cultivars having long flowering stems, early flowering, attractive flower color, and good flower form and substance.
The new Carnation originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1991, in Salinas, Calif., of the carnation cultivar ‘Lek's White Pirouette’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent with a proprietary Carnation seedling selection identified as code number 1462, as the female, or seed, parent.
The cultivar ‘Cantare’ was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Suba, Cundinamarca, Colombia, in October, 1991. The selection of this plant was based on its flower color and good flower form and substance.
Asexual reproduction of the new Carnation by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Suba, Cundinamarca, Colombia, has shown that the unique features of this new Carnation are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar ‘Cantare’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, light intensity, and water and nutritional status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Cantare’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Cantare’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Pure white-colored flowers.
2. Early and freely flowering habit with about 10 to 12 flowers per flowering stem.
3. Fragrant flowers.
4. Good postproduction longevity with flowers maintaining good substance and color for more than two weeks in an interior environment.
5. Resistance to Fusarium oxysporum.
Plants of the new Carnation differ primarily from plants of the parent plants in flower form and substance.
Plants of the new Carnation can be compared to plants of the cultivar ‘Bagatel’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,600. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Suba, Cundinamarca, Colombia, plants of the new Carnation and the cultivar ‘Bagatel’ differ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Carnation have longer, stronger and thicker flowering stems than plants of the cultivar ‘Bagatel’.
2. Plants of the new Carnation flower about three weeks earlier than plants of the cultivar ‘Bagatel’.
3. Flower spray formation of plants of the new Carnation is more open than flower spray formation of plants of the cultivar ‘Bagatel’.
4. When opening, flowers of plants of the new Carnation are whiter in color than flowers of plants of the cultivar ‘Bagatel’.
5. Flowers of plants of the new Carnation have more petals and petaloids and appear fuller than flowers of plants of the cultivar ‘Bagatel’.
6. Petal margins of plants of the new Carnation are more fringed than petal margins of plants of the cultivar ‘Bagatel’.
7. Flowers of plants of the new Carnation are slightly less fragrant than flowers of plants of the cultivar ‘Bagatel’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Carnation, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Carnation.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering stem of ‘Cantare’ grown as a spray-type cut Carnation.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Cantare’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Cantare’ (left) and ‘Bagatel’ (right).
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Madrid, Cundinamarca, Colombia, under conditions which approximate commercial practice in a single-layer polyethylene-covered greenhouse. Four-week old rooted cuttings were planted in ground beds and pinched about 3 to 4 weeks later. During the production time, the following environmental conditions were measured: day temperatures, 19 to 24° C.; night temperatures, 4 to 12° C.; and light levels, about 3,000 to 5,000 foot-candles. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for six to ten typical flowering stems that were harvested from plants that were about 24 to 26 weeks after planting.
