Abstract

A new cultivar of Camellia sasanqua named ‘Green 02-003’, characterized by its very compact and spreading to rounded plant habit, its profuse blooming habit and blooms at a young age, its double flowers (peony-form) that are red in color, its very glossy foliage, its good resistance to Phytophora sp. and Glomerella, and its ability to be readily propagated by stem cuttings.

Description

Botanical classification: Camellia sasanqua.
Variety denomination: ‘Green 02-003’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Camellia sasanqua. The new cultivar will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Green 02-003’. ‘Green 02-003’ is grown for use as a landscape shrub.
The new Camellia arose from on ongoing breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Fairhope, Ala. that began in 1992. The objective of the breeding program is to produce new cultivars of Camellia with compact plant habits, vigorous growth habits, and extended bloom periods. ‘Green 02-003’ originated as a whole plant mutation that arose from seed planted from open pollination of unnamed plants of Camellia from the Inventor's breeding line in fall of 2002. The specific parents are therefore unknown. The new Camellia was selected as a single unique plant in fall of 2005 after evaluation of 1400 seedlings.
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by stem cutting by the Inventor in summer of 2006 in Fairhope, Ala. Asexual propagation by stem cuttings has determined that the characteristics of this cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new Camellia as observed in Fairhope, Ala. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Green 02-003’ as a unique cultivar of Camellia.
    • 1. ‘Green 02-003’ exhibits a very compact, spreading to rounded plant habit.
    • 2. ‘Green 02-003’ exhibits a profuse blooming habit and blooms at a young age (observed on plants 24 months in age).
    • 3. ‘Green 02-003’ exhibits double flowers (peony-form) that are red in color.
    • 4. ‘Green 02-003’ exhibits very glossy foliage.
    • 5. ‘Green 02-003’ has shown good resistance to Phytophora sp. and Glomerella.
    • 6. ‘Green 02-003’ is readily propagated by stem cuttings.
The new cultivar of Camellia can be readily distinguished from other cultivars. ‘Green 02-003’ can most closely compared to the cultivars ‘Yuletide’ (not patented) and ‘Green 94-035’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,465). ‘Yuletide’ is similar to ‘Green 02-003’ in having red flowers. ‘Yuletide’ differs from ‘Green 02-003’ in having single flowers, in having a less compact plant habit, and exhibiting a decrease in bloom on older plants in the landscape. ‘Green 94-035’ is similar to ‘Green 02-003’ in having a compact plant habit, in being floriferous, and in having similar foliage size. ‘Green 94-035’ differs from ‘Green 02-003’ in being having a less spreading plant habit and in having flowers that are muti-hued pink.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Camellia, ‘Green 02-003’, as grown in Fairhope, Ala. The photographs were taken of four year-old plants of ‘Green 02-003’ as grown in a trial garden in in Fairhope, Ala.
FIG. 1 provides view of the plant habit and profuse blooming of ‘Green 02-003’.
FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of flowers of ‘Green 02-003’. The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with digital photography techniques available, the color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Camellia.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar as observed on 36 month-old plants of ‘Green 02-003’ as grown outdoors under 30% shade cloth in 3-gallon containers in Fairhope, Ala. Plants were grown under average day temperatures of 50 to 75° F. and average night temperatures of 30 to 50° F. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2007 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
