Abstract

A new cultivar of Impatiens plant named ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ that is characterized by large deep red flowers, more branching, and earlier flowering. In combination, these traits set ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ apart from all other existing varieties of Impatiens known to the inventor.

Description

Botanical classification: Impatiens hawkeri.
Variety denomination: ‘Tamar Cherry Red’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Tamar Cherry Red’.
The new cultivar is the product of a breeding program conducted by the inventor in a cultivated area of De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new Impatiens cultivars with interesting and unique flower and foliage colors.
‘Tamar Cherry Red’ is a hybrid that originated from the induced hybridization of the female or seed parent an unnamed proprietary seedling (not patented) and the male or pollen parent Impatiens ‘Tamar Orange’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,324). The cultivar ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ was selected by the inventor in 2000 as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment of De Lier, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction by terminal cuttings of the new cultivar ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ were taken in 2000 in De Lier, The Netherlands by the inventor. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Impatiens cultivar ‘Tamar Cherry Red’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from all other existing varieties of Impatiens known to the inventor.
    • 1. Impatiens ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ exhibits deep red flowers.
    • 2. Impatiens ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ exhibits flowers earlier.
    • 3. Impatiens ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ exhibits more branching.
The closest comparison variety is Impatiens ‘Martinique’ (not patented). Impatiens ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ is different than ‘Martinique’ in having a faster flowering speed and a different flower color.
The new cultivar ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ is distinguishable from the female parent Impatiens, an unnamed proprietary seedling by the following characteristics:
    • 1. ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ has larger flowers.
    • 2. ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ has more branching.
    • 3. ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ has darker red flowers, the flowers of the proprietary seedling are more pink.
The new cultivar ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ is distinguishable from the male parent Impatiens ‘Tamar Orange’ by the following characteristics:
    • 1. ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ is less vigorous than ‘Tamar Orange’.
    • 2. ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ has smaller flowers than ‘Tamar Orange’.
    • 3. ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ has red flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Impatiens ‘Tamar Cherry Red’. The plant in the photograph shows an overall view of a 10 week old plant.
The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
 BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following is a detailed description of the new Impatiens cultivar named ‘Tamar Cherry Red’. Data was collected in De Lier, The Netherlands from 10 week glass greenhouse grown plants in 12 cm diameter containers. The time of year was June and the temperature was kept at 20° Centigrade during the day and night. The light level was natural outdoor light and there were no photoperiodic treatments or growth retardants used. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘Tamar Cherry Red’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
