Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Whip Rosein’, characterized by its low trailing, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; single flowers that are red purple in color with darker red purple-colored venation; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Petunia×hybrida cultivar Whip Rosein.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Whip Rosein.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Gilroy, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely flowering Petunias with trailing and spreading plant habit and attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Petunia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in September, 2000 of a proprietary selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code number 00-382-4, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with a proprietary selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code number 00-381-2, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The new Petunia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Gilroy, Calif. in March, 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings since March, 2001, in Gilroy, Calif. has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Whip Rosein have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Whip Rosein’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Whip Rosein’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Low trailing, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Single flowers that are red purple in color with darker red purple-colored venation.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more vigorous than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia had smaller flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia and the female parent selection differed in flower color as plants of the female parent selection had purple-colored flowers.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia had smaller flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia and the male parent selection differed in flower color as plants of the male parent selection had scarlet-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the Petunia cultivar Whip Pur, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/818,375, primarily in flower color.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Surfinia Pink Mini 2000, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the cultivar Surfinia Pink Mini 2000 in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were smaller than plants of the cultivar Surfinia Pink Mini 2000.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia and the cultivar Surfinia Pink Mini 2000 differed in flower color as plants of the cultivar Surfinia Pink Mini 2000 had lavender-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Petunia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Whip Rosein’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Whip Rosein’.
