ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new and distinctive cultivar of Impatiens plant botanically known as Impatiens, commercially known as New Guinea Impatiens, and known by the cultivar name ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’. Ovation Rose Swirls was developed in a controlled breeding program by crossing Mikkelsen Seedling No. 92-503-1 (seed parent) with Mikkelsen Seedling No. 93-1019-7 (pollen parent). The seed and pollen parents are proprietary breeding lines which have not been sold or made publicly available in this country.
Asexual reproduction carried out by the inventor in Lompoc, Calif. by terminal or stem cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens are stabilized and are reproduced true to type in successive propagations.
The following combination of characteristics distinguishes the new Impatiens from both its parent varieties and other cultivated Impatiens of this type known to the inventor and used in the floriculture industry:
1. Ovation Rose Swirls has two-tone rose colored flowers with Red-Purple Group 64D near the center of the flower and Red-Purple Group 66C at the edge. ‘Kallima’(U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,146) has Red-Purple Group 65A near the center of the flower and Red-Purple Group 68B near the edge, and ‘Harmony Light Pink’ (unpatented), is Red-Purple Group 62D near the center of the flower and Red-Purple Group 62C near the edge.
2. ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’ does not have carmine color of Red-Purple Group 67B at center of flowers as do ‘Kallima’ and ‘Harmony Light Pink’.
3. ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’ has a large flower diameter (7.0 to 7.5 cm), as compared to ‘Kallima’ and ‘Harmony Light Pink’ (6.0 to 6.5 cm).
4. ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’ has a cream variegation around the midrib near the basal part of mature leaves, as compared to ‘Kallima’ and ‘Harmony Light Pink’, which are not variegated.
5. ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’ has intermediate leaf coloration of dark green while ‘Kallima’ has dark green leaves with a red-purple cast and ‘Harmony Light Pink’ has bright green leaves.
6. ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’ has a more mounded growth habit as compared to ‘Kallima’ and ‘Harmony Light Pink’, which are more upright in growth habit.
7. ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’ has a shorter leaf (9 to 10 cm) with an oval appearance, whereas, ‘Kallima’ and ‘Harmony Light Pink’ have a longer (11 to 12 cm), lanceolate-shaped leaf.
8. ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’ has a yellow-green pedicel while both ‘Kallima’ and ‘Harmony Light Pink’ have red-purple pedicels.
9. ‘Ovation Rose Swirls’ has a light red-purple spur with a green tip, as compared with ‘Kallima’ and ‘Harmony Light Pink’, which have deep red-purple spurs with red-purple tips.
