Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of geranium plant named ‘Fisorange’, as described and illustrated, and particularly characterized by the combined features of deep salmon-orange flower color, round, cup-like flower shape, fresh-green foliage with strong zonation, medium-tall, well-branched, round plant habit, moderately early spring flowering response and rich flowering throughout the summer.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of geranium plant, botanically known as Pelargonium zonale, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Fisorange’.
‘Fisorange’ is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new geranium varieties with salmon-pink to deep salmon, semi-double flowers, zoned foliage and medium-tall plant habit.
‘Fisorange’ originated from a hybridization made by the inventor, Angelika Utecht, in a controlled breeding program in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain, in 1994. The female parent was the cultivar ‘Fispera’ (unpatented), which was characterized by orange-red, single-type flowers, dark-green foliage with distinct zonation, and medium-tall plant habit. The male parent was a hybrid seedling, designated no. 1232-1 (unpatented), characterized by orange-red, semi-double flowers, dark-green foliage with strong zonation and relatively compact plant habit.
‘Fisorange’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by the inventor, Angelika Utecht, in 1995 in a controlled environment in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain.
The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Fisorange’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in autumn 1995 in a controlled environment in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain, by, or under the supervision of, Angelika Utecht. Horticultural examination of plants grown from these cuttings, initiated in May 1996 in Hillscheid, Germany, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Fisorange’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Fisorange’, which in combination distinguish this geranium as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Intense salmon-orange, semi-double, cup-shaped flowers;
2. Relatively large, round umbels;
3. Medium-green foliage with strong zonation;
4. Fairly compact plant habit under greenhouse conditions;
5. Moderately vigorous, well-branched growth in outdoor environment; and
6. Early to medium spring flowering response, and rich flowering throughout the summer.
‘Fisorange’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length without any change in the genotype. The following observations, measurements, and comparisons describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Germany, and in Langley, British Columbia, Canada, under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Fisorange’ are the varieties ‘Flomono’ (unpatented), ‘Schöne Helena’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,374), ‘Fisfid’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,388), and ‘Bergpalais’ (unpatented). In comparison to ‘Flomono’, ‘Fisorange’ has a more intense orange flower color, smaller leaves with somewhat more distinct lobing and with stronger zonation, and somewhat taller plant habit.
In comparison to ‘Schoene Helena’ and ‘Fisfid’, ‘Fisorange’ has a more intense, more orange tone of flower color and distinctly stronger zonation. In comparison to ‘Bergpalais’, ‘Fisorange’ has a slightly more intense general flower color, smaller, more cup-shaped flowers than the flowers of ‘Bergpalais’ which open wider, somewhat more intense zonation of leaves, and wider plant habit.
The accompanying photographic illustration shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘Fisorange’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type.
The measurements were taken in Langley, British Columbia, Canada, on Jun. 15, 1999, 12 weeks after planting of rooted cuttings into 15-cm pots. The plants had not been pinched. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart. The color values were determined indoors from plants developed in a greenhouse in May 1999 in Hillscheid, Germany.
