Abstract

A new geranium cultivar particularly distinguished by dark green foliage with light zonation, rose flower color, and semi-double flowers on large umbels, fast rooting and exhibits vigorous growth.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium hortorum Bailey, and herinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Clips Rose’. The new cultivar originated from a cross of the seed parent 5034-1 (unpatented) and the pollen parent 4911-1 (unpatented).
‘Clips Rose’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new geranium cultivars with rose colored flowers, semi-double flower form, dark green foliage, vigorous growth and superior cutting productivity.
The new cultivar was created in 1995 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Gilroy, Calif. and Guatemala over a four year period. The new cultivar has also been trialed at Okemos, Mich.; Andijk, The Netherlands and St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. The new cultivar has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations; and are firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
This new geranium plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant in full color, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 shows overall plant habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Clips Rose’. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Gilroy, Calif. The plant history was taken on 12 week old plants, blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken in the greenhouse in Gilroy, Calif. on Feb. 15, 2000 at 2:00 p.m. under ambient light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.).
