Abstract

‘Maestro Pink’ is a new variety of geranium having a compact habit, early and free flowering, very good outdoor performance, and brightly colored watermelon pink flowers.

Description

Botanical classification: Pelargonium×hortorum.
Varietal denomination: ‘Maestro Pink’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name ‘Maestro Pink’, Breeder No. 6DG4071-8. The new variety was discovered in Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a result of cross breeding ‘American Pink’ (female parent) (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,029) and Seedling 2483 (male parent) (unpatented). The new variety exhibits similar flower color to both parents, but blooms earlier and has a more compact habit than both parents. 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 asexual propagations.
The new variety was 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. The new variety exhibits rooting at 14 days under optimal conditions and has a response time of seven weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering.
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. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions carried out in Connellsville, Pa. Plants described were 9 weeks old. The color readings were taken indoors under 65-85 foot candles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
