Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Carnation plant named Paco, characterized by its red purple petal color; compact growth habit; freely branching habit; vigorous growth rate; proportional plant size; and floriferousness.

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 Paco.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in San Remo, Italy. The objective of the breeding program was to create new potted Carnation cultivars having different or more vivid flower colors.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of the proprietary selection of the breeder designated as V-79, as the male or pollen parent, with the propietary selection of the breeder designated as BB-1, as the female or seed parent.
The cultivar Paco was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in San Remo, Italy. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at San Remo, Italy, has shonw that the unique features of this new Carnation are stabilized and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar, Paco 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, Colo. under commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse.
The following traits have been repeated observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of Paco. These characteristics in combination distinguish Paco as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Red purple petal color.
2. Compact growth habit.
3. Freely branching habit.
4. Vigorous growth rate.
5. Proportional flowers to foliage ratio.
6. Floriferousness.
Compared to its parent, propietary selection V-79, the new Carnation is more compact, has larger flowers, and flower color is red purple compared to the lilac pink flower color of selection V-79. Compared to its parent, proprietary selection BB-1, the new Carnation is more freely branching and bushier, flowers two weeks earlier, and flower color is red purple compared to the pink flower color of selection BB-1.
Paco is most similar to the patented Carnation cultivar CFPC Cupid (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,419). However, the new Carnation differs from the cultivar CFPC Cupid in the following characteristics:
1. The petal color of plants of the new Carnation is darker red purple than the petal color of plants of the cultivar CFPC Cupid.
2. Flowers of plants of the new Carnation have fewer petals per flower, and petals are smaller than petals of plants of the cultivar CFPC Cupid.
3. Flowers of plants of the new Carnation are smaller in diameter than flowers of plants of the cultivar CFPC Cupid.
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 reproductions of this type. The flower color appears more red than the actual flower color due to light reflectance. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a flowering stem, flower, petals, flower bud and reproductive organs from a typical potted plant of Paco grown in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Palisade, Colo.
In the following description, color references 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.
