Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Carnation plant named Hildisco, characterized by its medium pink petal color with contrasting dark rose pink eye; compact growth habit; freely branching plant habit, uniform inflorescence display; and numerous flowers per plant.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Carnation plant, botanically known as Dianthus caryophyllus, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Hildisco.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Aalsmeer, Holland. The objective of the breeding program was to create new potted Carnation cultivars having more rapid growth and different or more vivid flower colors.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of the proprietary selection of the inventor designated as 89-124, as the male or pollen parent, with the proprietary selection of the inventor designated as 89-031, as the female or seed parent.
The cultivar Hildisco was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, Holland. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Aalsmeer, Holland, has shown that the unique features of this new Carnation are stabilized and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Hildisco has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Palisade, Co., under commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of Hildisco. These characteristics in combination distinguish Hildisco as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Medium pink petal color with contrasting dark rose pink eye.
2. Compact growth habit.
3. Freely branching plant habit.
4. Uniform inflorescence display.
5. Very floriferous with numerous flowers per plant.
Compared to its parent, the proprietary selection 89-124, the new Carnation has a bicolor petal color compared to the solid flower color of the selection 89-124. Compared to its parent, the proprietary selection 89-031, the new Carnation is more compact.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproduction of this type. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a flowering stem, flower, petals, buds and reproductive organs from a typical potted plant of Hildisco grown in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Palisade, Co.
In the following description, color reference are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for at least three typical plants grown in 10-cm containers with day temperatures of 24C, night temperatures of 18C, and a light level of 4,500 foot-candles.
