Definitions

  • This new carnation cultivar originated as a seedling of a hybrid developed by us by crossing selected varieties of carnation plants from our collection of plants maintained for breeding purposes with the object of producing new plants of good quality, good flower production and color, and having a strong resistance to Fusarium Oxysporum.

Abstract

A new standard carnation variety particularly distinguished by the Empire Rose coloration of its medium sized flowers, which are borne singly on long, strong stems and produced profusely on a tall plant having a recurrent blooming habit, which flowers during the Spring, midseason and Fall blooming periods, the plant having a vigorous, upright and rather rigid growth habit with strong stems and a moderately abundant quantity of foliage, as well as being very resistant to Fusarium Oxysporum.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
This new carnation cultivar originated as a seedling of a hybrid developed by us by crossing selected varieties of carnation plants from our collection of plants maintained for breeding purposes with the object of producing new plants of good quality, good flower production and color, and having a strong resistance to Fusarium Oxysporum. This breeding was done by us at our nursery at 83250 La Londe-Les-Maures, France, and from the resulting seedlings, we selected the present plant for propagation because of its apparently excellent growth habit and its profuse production of medium sized blooms having a very attractive coloration. Propagation of this selected seedling was done by us and under our direction at La Londe by means of cuttings of the original plant and with such success that we determined that further propagation would be worthwhile. That was done by means of cuttings from successive generations, as well as in vitro propagation procedures, which demonstrated conclusively that from generation to generation the original characteristics of the selected seedling were fully maintained and the homogeneity of the new plant could be assured. Propagation of this new plant is now being carried on at La Londe for commercial purposes by means of in vitro propagation, as well as by cuttings.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Our new carnation cultivar is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing, which shows several stems with buds and blooms including a three-quarter face view of a mature flower, the color rendition being as nearly true to that herein specified as is reasonably possible to obtain by professional photographic procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
