ABSTRACT:
Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Diascia×hybrida
cultivar Hannah Rose.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Diascia plant, botanically known as
Diascia×hybrida,
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Hannah Rose.
The new Diascia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Appleby, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Diascias with good plant vigor and numerous flowers with attractive coloration.
The new Diascia originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1997 of the
Diascia×hybrida
cultivar Lucy, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with the
Diascia×hybrida
cultivar Mollis, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The new Diascia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny by the Inventor in 1998, in Appleby, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom on the basis of its plant habit and attractive flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings taken in Appleby, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom since 1998 has shown that the unique features of this new Diascia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Hannah Rose have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature 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 ‘Hannah Rose’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Hannah Rose’ as a new and distinct Diascia cultivar:
1. Upright and outwardly spreading to trailing plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit.
3. Freely and continuous flowering habit.
4. Pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Diascia are most similar to plants of the parent cultivars. Plants of the new Diascia differ from plants of the parent cultivars primarily in flower color as flower color of plants of the new Diascia is more intense. In addition, plants of the new Diascia have a more uniform plant habit than plants of the parent cultivars.
