Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Thera Red’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly rounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit; dark green-colored leaves; uniform and freely flowering habit; and relatively small decorative-type inflorescences with dark red-colored ray florets.
Description
Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘THERA RED’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Thera Red’.
The new Chrysanthemum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium. The objective of the breeding program is to create new uniformly mounding and freely flowering Chrysanthemum plants with unique and attractive ray floret coloration.
The new Chrysanthemum plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium in October, 2009 of Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Belgo Red’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Tirona Red’, not patented. The new Chrysanthemum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium in September, 2010.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum plant by vegetative terminal cuttings was first conducted in a controlled greenhouse environment in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium in January, 2011. Asexual reproduction by vegetative terminal cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Thera Red’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Thera Red’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant:
-
- 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly rounded plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
- 5. Relatively small decorative-type inflorescences with dark red-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from the female parent, ‘Belgo Red’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more uniformly rounded than and not as upright as plants of ‘Belgo Red’.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have larger leaves than plants of ‘Belgo Red’.
- 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have smaller inflorescences than plants of ‘Belgo Red’.
- 4. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and ‘Belgo Red’ differ in ray floret color as inflorescences of plants of ‘Belgo Red’ have pale red-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from the male parent, ‘Tirona Red’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are not as vigorous as plants of ‘Tirona Red’.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Tirona Red’.
- 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and ‘Tirona Red’ differ in ray floret color as inflorescences of plants of ‘Tirona Red’ have faded red-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Pavia Red’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,134. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of ‘Pavia Red’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were more compact than plants of ‘Pavia Red’.
- 2. Leaves of plants of the new Chrysanthemum were smaller and not as dark green in color as leaves of plants of ‘Pavia Red’.
- 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and ‘Pavia Red’ differed in ray floret color as inflorescences of plants of ‘Pavia Red’ had red purple-colored ray florets.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum plant 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 Chrysanthemum plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Thera Red’ grown in a container.
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 19-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium during the spring and summer and under cultural practices generally used in commercial Chrysanthemum production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 21° C. and night temperatures ranged from 10° C. to 15° C. Plants were 20 weeks old when the photograph and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2005 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
