ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
‘Klecincre’ is a new variety of carnation plant that originated as a sport of the variety ‘Mizderella’ (not patented), and was discovered in a greenhouse of our company in Stuttgart/Germany. The new plant is desirable for commercial greenhouse production because it has several of the desirable characteristics of its parent ‘Mizderella’, but is distinguished by its flower color. The mutation was selected in September 1994 because of its cream-white colored mature flower, a trait that distinguished it from its parent variety ‘Mizderella’, which has a cerise colored flower.
After selection, ‘Klecincre’ was vegetatively reproduced from stem cuttings in Stuttgart/Germany, Latina/Italy and Tquma D.N. Negev/Israel. By subjecting clones of this plant to successive generations of vegetative propagation, it was demonstrated that the distinctive characteristics of ‘Klecincre’ held true from generation to generation.
Traits of ‘Klecincre’ were recorded in Germany on Nov. 19, 1997. Observations were recorded from plants produced for cut flowers that were planted on May 5, 1997, pinched Jun. 3, 1997, and grown at a density of 19.2 plants per square meter. The results of trials indicated that ‘Klecincre’ had the same attributes as ‘Mizderella’, except for color.
The variety ‘Klecincre’ was propagated vegetatively, and, therefore, somatic mutations were a possibility. To-date, however, no variants that are different from the original variety have been noted. Additionally, since the sport ‘Klecincre’ was found in 1994, no instability of the new variety has been noted.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
‘Klecincre’ is a carnation plant that has the same attributes as its parent ‘Mizderella’ but is distinguished by its cream-white petal color (both upper and lower surfaces), possessed by the mature flower. That cream-white petal color is best represented by 155A of The R.H.S. color code system.
