Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of geranium known by the cultivar name `Faro` is characterized by a signal red flower color, a semi-double flower forum, dark foliage, medium height, large umbel, long pedicel, medium flower response and good heat and rain resistance.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of geranium botanically known as Pelargonium zonale, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Faro`.
`Faro` is a product of planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new geranium cultivars with signal red flower color, semi-double flower form, dark medium habit.
Faro originated from a hybridization made in a controlled breeding program in Hagenbach, Germany, in 1990. The female parent was `Komet`, characterized by its red, semi-double flower, dark foliage, late flower response and tall habit. The male parent of `Faro` was `Bruni`, characterized by its red flower colors, semi-double flower form, medium green foliage, compact habit, medium zonation of the leaves, Both `Komet` and `Bruni` were patented in Germany but neither is presently available commerically. Its dark foliage distinguishes `Faro` from `Bruni`. Its compact habit distinguishes Faro from `Komet`.
`Faro` was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by the inventors in August 1991 in a controlled Environment in Hagenbach, Germany.
The first act of asexual reproduction of `Faro` was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in January 1992 in a controlled Environment in Hagenbach, Germany, by a technician working under formulations established and supervised by Gerd Endisch.
Horticultural examination of selected units initiated in May 1992 has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for `Faro` are firmly fixed and are tetained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
`Faro` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length. The following observations, measurements, and comparisons describe plants grown in Hagenbach, Germany, under field conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice. The dimensions and measurements given below are approximate.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of `Faro` to distinguish this geranium as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. signal red flower color
2. semi-double flower form
3. dark foliage
4. medium height
5. large umbel
6. long pedicel
7. medium flower response
8. good heat and rain resistance.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventors, the most similar in comparison to `Faro` is `Tango`. Reference is made to Chart A below which compares certain characteristics of `Faro` to those same characteristics of Tango. In comparison to `Tango`, `Faro` has a broader width, bigger umbel, longer pedicel, shorter peduncle and later flower response.
The accompanying photographic drawing show typical flower and foliage characteristics of `Faro`, with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.). The color values were determined indoors from plants grown outdoors in August 1994 in Hagenbach, Germany, or Hannover (Bundessortenamt).
