Abstract
The cultivar is characterized by its bright orange-red color. Its compact, controlled growth habit and prolific blooms provide for superb cuttings and performs equally well in a hanging basket as well as in a ground bed. The blooms hold up well in high summer temperatures and produce quickly after rain.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name Elizabeth (Oglevee No. 7068; Bodger No. 200-1). The new variety was discovered in a selected breeding program at Bodger Seeds, Ltd. in Lompoc, Calif. in November, 1987. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of (Salmon Floral Cascade×Pinto Red)×Red Elite. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Bodger Seeds, Ltd. on Jan. 25, 1988. The new variety has been asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Penna. over a three 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, Penna. using natural light and 60° F. night, 68° F. day 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 of 200 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium in full light. The rooted cuttings were potted on Feb. 19, 1991 and flowered on Apr. 2, 1991.
FIG. 1 of the accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new cultivar the color 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, Penna. The plant history was taken on six week plants blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and the color readings were taken indoors under 200-220 foot candles of florescent cool white light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S Color Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

This new Geranium variety, Elizabeth, is an improvement over the current Floribunda Brigette. It is an improvement over Brigette as a result of its clearer orange-red color inherited from Red Pinto and Red Elite, as well as a more compact and controlled growth habit.
The plant still performs extremely well outdoors in either a hanging basket or in ground beds. Elizabeth blooms very prolifically, provides a compact, full-growth habit similar to that of Salmon Floral Cascade and is still a superb cutting producer. It has good lasting quality and the ability to bloom quickly after a rain.
The dark zone on the medium green foliage and the bright orange-red flowers create an eye appealing novelty for the home gardener.
