Abstract

A cultivar of Achimenes plant named Picotee Rose.

Description

The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Achimenes plant, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Picotee Rose.
Picotee Rose is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new Achimenes cultivars having superior vigor, good branching habits, suitability for pot plants or hanging baskets, double flowers 2" or more in diameter and of various colors, early-flowering, floriferousness, and a long flowering season. Such traits in combination were not present or needed improvement in previously available commercial cultivars of this type.
Picotee Rose was originated from a hybridization made in a controlled breeding program in Greenwood, S.C. in 1984. Both the male and female parent were identified by the breeding number 840942-2, with the female parent being selfed from the male parent.
Picotee Rose was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated parentage by Linda Saussy Wiles on Aug. 21, 1985, in a controlled greenhouse environment in Greenwood, S.C.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by rhizomes, as performed initially by Linda Saussy Wiles at Greenwood, S.C. has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for Picotee Rose are firmly fixed through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Picotee Rose has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length. The following observations, measurements, and comparisons describe plants grown in Greenwood, S.C. under greenhouse conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of Picotee Rose, which in combination distinguish this Achimenes as a new and distinct cultivar:
(1) The flowers are double in form and large, being 21/8" to 2 11/16" diameter. There are five (5) full size petals and 5 or more smaller petals measuring 10/16"×10/16" or more when fully expanded.
(2) The upper surface flower color of the outer petals is an attractive white with a thin picotee or edge of light lavender to violet blue, with petals showing Silver White on the reverse or underside. If double petals are pulled apart the throat shows Light Chartreuse Green HCC 663/3, with some lines and dots of HCC 931/1×834/1 Dahlia Purple×Royal Purple also being apparent.
(3) Generally, two (sometimes one) flowers appear at each node. Plants are erect when young, and semi-trailing towards end of growing season.
(4) Rhizomes start growing early, producing plants rapidly. From rhizomes planted in early April, flowering plants were available by mid June.
(5) Plants continue to flower well into late November.
(6) Highly floriferous flowering habit.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to Picotee Rose is Blue Rose, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,919. Reference is made to attached Chart A which compares certain characteristics of Picotee Rose to those same characteristics of Blue Rose.
Picotee Rose can also be compared to White Rose, a cultivar of applicant disclosed in a pending application. Picotee Rose differs from White Rose by its larger flowers, lavender to blue picotee, and a slightly less floriferous habit. In addition, White Rose shows a pink tint near the center.
The accompanying color photographic drawings show typical inflorescence and foliage characteristics of Picotee Rose, with the colors being as nearly true as possible with illustrations of this type. Sheet 1 is a perspective view of the plant, and sheet 2 comprises a greatly enlarged photo of a single flower and surrounding foliage.
In the following description, color references are made to the Horticultural Color Chart (HCC), or to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.) where indicated. The color values were determined between 3:00 pm. and 4:00 pm. on Sept. 23, 1986 under 2100 foot candles of light intensity at Greenwood, S.C.
