Abstract
The new cultivar is characterized by its hardy, uniquely colored clear pink and accented blooms. It is further characterized by its neat, compact habit. The variety does equally well as a pot plant or a stock plant for cutting production.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name melody (V.E.B. Code P-55 Oglevee Code 7018). The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program in 1985 in Berlin, East Germany. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of PAC Yvonne, PAC Laura and blue-rose colored breeding stocks. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at VEB Saat-und Pflanzgut, Ex-Und Import in Moosdorfstrabe 3, 1193 Berlin, East Germany. The new variety has been asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Penn. over a several year period. It has also been trial and field tested at Connellsville and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The cultivar when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Penn. using natural light and 60° F. night, 68° F. and 71° F. vent, has a response time of six weeks from a rooted cutting to flowering in a 10 cm. pot. The response time was determined on plants grown in soilless media employing constant fertilizer 200 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium in full light. The rooted cuttings were potted Feb. 14, 1990 and flowered on Apr. 1, 1990.
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new cultivar, with the colors shown being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Penn. The plant history was taken on six week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and the color readings were taken indoors under 50-75 foot candles of florescent cool white light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
