Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of evergreen azalea of the genus Rhododendron and a member of the Ericaceae family. This new variety of azalea plant is the result of a breeding program. The principal objectives of this breeding program were to produce new varieties of evergreen azaleas which are floriferous, compact, vigorous, and easy to propagate using vegetative cuttings.
The specific parentage of the new variety is unknown because no records were kept of the crosses made which resulted in the new plant. The breeding program incorporated the use of forty seven varieties of evergreen azaleas from seven hybrid groups that were grown at Mossholder nurseries in La Habra, Calif.

______________________________________
`Rachel Banda` most closely resembles the Belgian Indian Hybrid Group. Of the plants used in the breeding program, `Orchidflora`, `Rose Queen`, and `Sweetheart Supreme` were most similar to the new selection.
This new hybrid has the following combination of characteristics which distinguish it from other varieties.
1. Flower size, color, form, and fragrance. The hube 10.0 to 11.4 cm blooms are magneta rose, semidouble, and emit a mildly sweet fragrance. Blooms mid-season (early March-April).
2. Plant form and vigor. The plant is horizontally spreading, compact, vigorous and has a prolific blooming habit.
3. Ease of Vegetative Propagation. The new hybrid has been asexually reproduced thousands of times by cuttings at Hines Nurseries in Irvine, Calif. Each of the progeny exhibits characteristics identical to the original mother plant, establishing the hybrid as reproducible and true to type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
FIG. 1 is a close-up of the flowers demonstrating the size, color, and form.
FIG. 2 shows the overall appearance of the compact growth habit and prolific blooming habit.
FIG. 3 is a photograph of the nearly mature 9 year old plant in bud.
