Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium Pelargonium×hortorum named Jubilee that possesses a flower color that is a unique combination of red-orange and watermelon shades, and is early flowering, floriferous, self-branching, and compact.

Description

This invention was made with Government support under Hatch Act Funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Government has certain rights in the invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium Pelargonium×hortorum called `Jubilee`. The cultivar is particularly well adapted to both commercial greenhouse production and garden performance. The cultivar is characterized by a semi-double flower whose flower color is a unique combination of red-orange and watermelon shades. The cultivar is early flowering, floriferous, self-branching and compact.
The cultivar was developed from an organized, scientifically designed breeding program conducted at the Department of Horticulture, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. 16802. The breeding program combined European cultivars with exceptional flowering ability and compactness to create new cultivars with clear, bright flower colors.
Specifically, the cultivar resulted from selection in the progeny of the cross pollination between European geranium cultivars `Jean Billes` and `Honseler's Glorie Lila`, reported to be a selection of `Purpurball`. `Jean Billes` has a clear salmon flower color and is vigorous. `Honseler's Glorie Lila` is compact and magenta in flower color. `Jubilee` possesses a combination of these colors. The selection was asexually propagated by cutttings in Pennsylvania and the reproductions ran true.
With reference to the detailed description of the cultivar which follows, the test plant was grown in a greenhouse under full natural light, at a night temperature of approximately 58° F., and a day temperature of approximately 68° F. Soilless medium was fertilized with every watering with 200 ppm nitrogen as 15-16-17. Color readings were taken under incandescent light at 200 foot candles and color identification was by reference to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Charts, except where common terms of color definition are employed.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying drawing is a color photograph illustrating the new cultivar, including foliage and flowers. The color in the photograph is as nearly true as is reasonably possible to make in a color illustration of this character.
