Abstract

A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Texas Time Red,’ having a good uniform canopy of red single quill with red spoon tip flowers and a light green disc. The new variety has a medium tall vigor, free branching, uniform spreading habit and good foliage presentation.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Texas Time Red.’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum botanically known as Chrysanthemum morifolium, and referred to by the cultivar name ‘Texas Time Red.’
‘Texas Time Red,’ identified as 21895-0, originated from a cross made in a controlled breeding program in Vinnetrow Road, Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The female parent of the new variety is an undistributed, unpatented seedling identified as 21079-4 of the unpatented variety known as ‘Pixie Time Pink.’ The male parent of the new variety is an undistributed, unpatented seedling identified as 20074-2 of the unpatented variety known as ‘Bi Time Purple.’ The new variety ‘Texas Time Red’ has been asexually reproduced by vegetative cuttings in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom and the distinguishing characteristics are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
‘Texas Time Red’ is a Pot type of Chrysanthemum plant variety having red single quill flowers with red spoon tips.
Comparison with Female Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Texas Time Red’ are dissimilar to the parent ‘Pink Pixie Time’ in plant habitat and growth rate. In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Texas Time Red’ differed from the plants of the parent ‘Pixie Time Pink’ in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Texas Time Red’ produces red quill single spoon tipped flowers whereas the parent ‘Pixie Time Pink’ produces pink anemone flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Texas Time Red’ have taller and larger inflorescence than plants of the parent ‘Pixie Time Pink.’
Comparison with Male Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Texas Time Red’ are dissimilar to the parent ‘Bi Time Purple’ in plant habitat and growth rate. In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Texas Time Red’ differed from the plants of the parent ‘Bi Time Purple’ in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Texas Time Red’ produces red quill single spoon tipped flowers whereas the parent ‘Bi Time Purple’ produces purple anemone flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Texas Time Red’ have tall and larger inflorescence than plants of the parent ‘Bi Time Purple.’
Comparison with Other Varieties
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Texas Time Red’ are similar to ‘Energy Time’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,957) in plant habit and growth rate. However in side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Texas Time Red’ differed from plants of ‘Energy Time’ in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Texas Time Red’ produces dark red quill single spoon tip flowers whereas ‘Energy Time’ produces red spoon tip flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Texas Time Red’ have larger and taller inflorescence than plants of ‘Energy Time.’
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Texas Time Red’ are shown in the accompanying digital photograph. The colors shown are as true as possible within the usual limits of this kind of illustration.
FIG. 1 is a whole plant view of the new variety ‘Texas Time Red’ grown in a pot. The plant shown in the illustration is 58 days from the commencement of Short Days.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Texas Time Red’ is of plants grown in a greenhouse in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom in the month of May. The cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in the environment such as temperature, length of day and light intensity, without any variance in genotype. The commercial classification of the new variety is a pot Chrysanthemum.
Plants of the new variety have been grown successfully under temperature conditions averaging about 19° C. at night and about 17° C. to 24° C. during the day under light conditions of about 5000 to 6000 foot candles. The plants respond well to the use of growth retardant, such as B9 treatment at about 2 g per liter. To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once with the center bud removed. The typical container size for commercial growth is 1 liter. It has been observed that the shelf life of the new variety is about 25 days with a response time of about 8 weeks. The new variety is suitable for growth in a temperature range of 15° C. to 25° C.
The new variety may be produced as a spray. The following description is with respect to a plant produced as a pot. In the description of this new Chrysanthemum variety, color values have been taken from The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.).
