ABSTRACT:

LATIN NAME
Dendranthema morifolium.
VARIETY
‘Gedi One Jam’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Dendranthema morifolium
and herein after referred to by the cultivar mane ‘Gedi One Jam.’
This new cultivar was the result of hybridization of a female parent, ‘Ozenda’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,419) with a male parent, ‘Maribelle’ (unpatented.) The new cultivar was selected in October 1997.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by apical tip cutting and meristem tissue culture was performed in Oxnard, Calif. and has shown that the unique features of this new cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Gedi One Jam’ 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 traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Gedi One Jam.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi One Jam’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Large decorative type inflorescence;
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 49 days of short day length;
3. Free branching habit; and
4. Pink ray florets, resisting fading with age.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are similar to plants of the parent cultivars in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent cultivar ‘Ozenda’ in the following characteristics:
1. The new cultivar naturally blooms 2 weeks earlier;
2. The new cultivar has individual blooms that are more resistant to fading;
3. The new cultivar has many more ray florets than the female parent; and
4. The new cultivar has larger diameter bloom.
The new cultivar also differed from the male parent ‘Maribelle’ in the following characteristics:
1. The new cultivar has a different ray floret color; and
2. The new cultivar naturally blooms 2 weeks earlier.
The new cultivar can be compared to the Chrysanthemum cultivar ‘Jean’ (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,901.) However plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from the plants of the cultivar ‘Jean’ in the following characteristics:
1. New cultivar naturally blooms approximately 1 week earlier;
2. New cultivar has ray florets that are more pink than lavendar;
3. New cultivar has a more round plant shape; and
4. New cultivar has a slightly larger diameter flower.
