Abstract
A new geranium cultivar distinguished by its more compact and free-branching growth, its greater flowering potential, and the intensification of its pink coloring under high temperature and high light intensities. This plant blooms continuously, is tolerant of high nighttime temperatures, has good strength against breaking apart or shattering in wind or rain, and is highly resistant to Botrytis cinerea infection.
Description
My new variety of geranium plant is a seedling resulting from my cross of the unpatented variety "Galaxie" with an unnamed variety produced by my crossing the unpatented variety "Summertime" with an unnamed plant in my stock which resulted from "Pink Cloud" × "Marquise de Castellane" (both unpatented), all of which work was done by me at Iowa State University at Ames, Iowa, in the course of my extensive breeding efforts carried on at Ames, Iowa, since 1956. This new plant was discovered by me in 1972 among a group of seedlings of the first mentioned cross and was selected for propagation and test because of its apparently improved growth and blooming characteristics. Asexual propagation of this plant at Ames, Iowa, under my direction and through successive generations by means of cuttings, has demonstrated that its improved characteristics hold true from generation to generation and appear to be firmly fixed.
My new geranium cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows the plant in full bloom and in full color, the colors shown being as nearly true as it is reasonable to expect from reproduction by conventional commercial photographic procedures.
The following is a description, in detail, of my new geranium plant variety with color designations according to the Horticultural Colour Chart (HCC) developed by Robert F. Wilson and published by The Royal Horticultural Society at London, England, in collaboration with the British Colour Council, the following data being from observations of plants of the new variety grown at the Iowa State University Department of Agriculture at Ames, Iowa.

This geranium cultivar is similar in color to the older cultivars "Pink Jade" (unpatented), "Eleanor" (unpatented) and "Genie Irene" (unpatented) but differs from those plants in that the color intensifies under high temperatures and high light intensity. This new plant is more compact and free branching and because of its greater number of stems and a tendency to produce flowers on a consistent 2-4 node cycle, this plant has a greater flowering potential than the before mentioned varieties.
Claims (1)
