Abstract
A new and distinct Double Impatiens plant named ‘Balolerose’, characterized by its fully double pink-colored flowers, dark green-colored foliage, compact upright and mounded growth habit and excellent basal branching.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of plant claimed: Impatiens walleriana.
Variety denomination: ‘Balolerose’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Double Impatiens plant botanically known as Impatiens walleriana and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balolerose’.
The new cultivar was developed by the inventor in a controlled breeding program during November 2000 at Elburn, Ill. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new Impatiens cultivars with numerous fully double flowers, excellent basal branching, and upright, compact growth habit.
The female (seed) parent of ‘Balolerose’ was the proprietary Impatiens walleriana selection designated ‘3438-1’ (not patented) characterized by its vigorous growth habit, purple-colored flowers, and dark green-colored foliage. The male (pollen) parent of ‘Balolerose’ was the proprietary Impatiens walleriana selection ‘3357-3’ (not patented) characterized by its vigorous upright habit, fully double red-colored flowers, and dark green-colored foliage. ‘Balolerose’ was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in September of 2001 and was initially designated ‘7544-4’.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in West Chicago, Ill., has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar, as herein described, reproduce true to type and are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length without, however, any change in phenotype.
It was repeatedly found that the cultivar of the present invention:
1. Exhibits fully double dark pink-colored flowers,
2. Forms dark green-colored foliage,
3. Exhibits a good basal branching character, and
4. Exhibits a compact, upright and mounded growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the parents primarily in flower color.
Of the many commercially available Double Impatiens cultivars known to the inventor, ‘Balolerose’ is most similar to ‘Sparkler Rose’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,603). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in West Chicago, Ill., plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of ‘Sparkler Rose’ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of ‘Balolerose’ are more floriferous than plants of ‘Sparkler Rose’.
2. The flowers of the plants of ‘Balolerose’ have more petals than the flowers of the plants of ‘Sparkler Rose’, and
3. The flowers of the plants of ‘Balolerose’ are a uniform color while the flowers of the plants of ‘Sparkler Rose’ are bicolor.
The accompanying photographs show as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Balolerose’. The plants were grown for 8 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of the overall growth and flowering habit of ‘Balolrose’.
FIG. 2 illustrates a close up view of a single flower of ‘Balolerose’.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 1995 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined on Jul. 16, 2003 between 10:00 and 11:45 a.m. under natural daylight conditions.
The following measurements and comparisons describe plants produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and grown under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. Plants were grown in 10 cm pots for 8 weeks while utilizing a soilless growth medium. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 65°-75° F. during the day and approximately 55°-62° F. during the night. Greenhouse light levels were maintained at approximately 4,000-6,000 footcandles.
