Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Mandevilla plant named ‘Ginger’, characterized by its compact, upright and mounded plant habit; strong stems; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; and intense pink-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Mandevilla hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Ginger’.
CROSS-REFERENCED TO CLOSELY RELATED APPLICATIONS
Title: Mandevilla Plant Named ‘Audrey’.
Applicant: Graham Noel Brown.
Filed: U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/291,395.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Mandevilla, botanically known as Mandevilla hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Ginger’.
The new Mandevilla plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in New South Wales, Australia. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact shrub-type Mandevilla cultivars with strong stems and numerous attractive flowers.
The new Mandevilla plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Pennant Hills, New South Wales, Australia in December, 2003, of a proprietary selection of Mandevilla hybrida identified as code number X02.5, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with Mandevilla hybrida ‘Sunmandecrim’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,539, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Mandevilla was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Macquarie Fields, New South Wales, Australia in November, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Mandevilla plant by cuttings in Macquarie Fields, New South Wales, Australia, since December, 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Mandevilla plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Mandevilla have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Ginger’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Ginger’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Compact, upright and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Strong stems.
    • 3. Freely branching habit.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Intense pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Mandevilla differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Mandevilla have smaller flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Mandevilla and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have darker pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘Sunmandecrim’. Plants of the new Mandevilla differ from plants of ‘Sunmandecrim’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Mandevilla are more compact than plants of ‘Sunmandecrim’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Mandevilla and ‘Sunmandecrim’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Sunmandecrim’ have deep red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can be compared to plants of Mandevilla hybrida ‘Audrey’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/291,395. Plants of the new Mandevilla differ primarily from plants of ‘Audrey’ in flower color as plants of ‘Audrey’ have deep red-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the new Mandevilla have a tighter (less open) plant form than plants of ‘Audrey’.
Plants of the new Mandevilla can also be compared to plants of Mandevilla splendens ‘Red Riding Hood’, not patented. Plants of the new Mandevilla differ from plants of ‘Red Riding Hood’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Mandevilla are more compact than plants of ‘Red Riding Hood’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Mandevilla and ‘Red Riding Hood’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Red Riding Hood’ have darker pink-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Mandevilla plant, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new Mandevilla plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Ginger’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and flower buds of ‘Ginger’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif., under commercial practice during the summer in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse.
