Description

CLASSIFICATION
Pelargonium×domesticum.
VARIETAL DENOMINATION
‘Royalty White’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×domesticum known by the varietal name ‘Royalty White’, Breeder No. 5DG1941. The new variety was discovered in Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a result of cross breeding of White Champion (female) (unpatented) and Duchess (male) (U.S. Plant No. 8,074). The new variety exhibits similar flower color to White Champion and similar habit to Duchess, but differs in its early flowering compared to White Champion and improved flower type over Duchess. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings in Connellsville, Pa. The new variety has been trial and field tested and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The new variety, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using full light, 60° F. night temperature and 68° F. day temperature and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer at 200-250 ppm nitrogen and potassium has a response time of 13 weeks to flowering from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 6 inch pot.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar at 10 weeks grown from a rooted cutting. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions carried out at Oglevee, Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The color readings were taken from a plant grown in a glass greenhouse. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
