Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×peltatum known by the varietal name ‘Global Coral Rose’ (Oglevee No. 4277, Bodger No. 4 GM297-2). The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program by David Lemon in Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a selection from a seed parent of the commercial variety ‘Romy’ with a pollen parent of a cross between ‘Nanette’ and ‘Cornell’ (Bodger No. 2 GM209A light red).
The new cultivar was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. on Jan. 23, 1995 and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., using full light, 60° Fahrenheit night temperature, 68° Fahrenheit day temperature, and grown in a soilless media using a constant fertilizer of 200-250 parts per million of Nitrogen and Potassium, in full light. The claimed plant was grown from a rooted cutting, potted in a 10 centimenter pot and exhibited a six week response time from the rooted cutting to a flowering plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new cultivar taken twelve weeks from transplanting into hanging basket, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed desciption sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines each characteristics was collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Connellsville, Pa. The plant histories were taken on rooted cuttings believed to have been potted in a 10 cm pot on approximately Jan. 26, 1998 and flowering on approximately Mar. 30, 1998, under full light in the greenhouse, and color readings were taken in the Oglevee office under 30-40 foot candles of cool white flourescent lighting using The Royal Horticultural Society of London Colour Chart.
