Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named ‘Roxy’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; early and freely flowering habit; red purple-colored flowers; dark green leaves; and good postproduction longevity.
Description
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana cultivar Roxy.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Kalanchoe plant, botanically known as Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Roxy’.
The new Kalanchoe is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Odense, Denmark. The objective of the breeding program was to create new early-flowering Kalanchoe cultivars with bright and attractive flower colors and good postproduction longevity.
The new Kalanchoe orginated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Odense, Denmark of two unidentified proprietary selections of Kalanchoe, not patented. The new Kalanchoe was discovered and selected by the Inventor within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Odense, Denmark. The selection of this plant was based on its flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new Kalanchoe by terminal cuttings taken at Odense, Denmark, by the Inventor, has shown that the unique features of this new Kalanchoe are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Roxy has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Roxy’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Roxy’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact and upright plant habit.
2. Early and freely flowering habit.
3. Red purple-colored flowers.
4. Dark green leaves.
5. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Kalanchoe differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in flower color.
Plants of the new Kalanchoe can be compared to plants of the cultivar Light Jacqueline, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,268. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Odense, Denmark, plants of the new Kalanchoe differed from plants of the cultivar Light Jacqueline in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Kalanchoe flowered about one to two weeks earlier than plants of the cultivar Light Jacqueline.
2. Plants of the new Kalanchoe were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Light Jacqueline.
3. Plants of the new Kalanchoe had slightly larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Light Jacqueline.
4. Flower color of plants of the new Kalanchoe was darker red purple than flower color of plants of the cultivar Light Jacqueline.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Kalanchoe, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Kalanchoe.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical potted plant of ‘Roxy’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of the following: side and top perspective views of typical flowering cymes, side perspective view of a single flower, and top perspective views of young and fully expanded leaves of ‘Roxy’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and for the following observations and measurements were grown in Odense, Denmark, during the autumn under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse for about 14 to 18 weeks in 10.5-cm containers. Plants were exposed to photoinductive short day/long night conditions for the last 8 to 9 weeks of production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 20 and 18° C., respectively. Plants used in the photographs and description were not pinched.
