Abstract

The cultivar is characterized by the light pink bloom with dark pink eye over very dark green foliage. Its quick rooting time and continuous flowering provides for superb cuttings and for quick recovery of the bloom following wet weather conditions. The blooms are very heat tolerant, and an abundant amount of cuttings may be obtained from a single plant.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Pelargonium×hortorum known by the varietal name Raspberry Ice (Oglevee No. 2054, Bodger No. 2GM 104-3). The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program by David Lemon at Bodger Seeds, Ltd., Lompoc, Calif. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of Aphrodite (Bodger No. 10GM 177 unpatented) which has a white flower and medium green leaves with Rio (Bodger No. 10GM 69 unpatented) which has a pink-red bi-colored, single flower as distinguished from the claimed cultivar which has white-pink and Raspberry bi-colored flowers and dark green foliage.
The new cultivar was first asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Ltd., Connellsville, Pa., and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings at Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa., using full light, 60° Fahrenheit night temperature, 68° Fahrenheit day temperature, 72° Fahrenheit vent temperature and grown in a soilless media of constant fertilizer 200-250 parts per million of nitrogen and potassium has a response time of six weeks from the rooted cutting to a flowering plant in a 10.0 cm pot.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying drawings illustrate the new cultivar, the colors depicted being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
Sheet 1 represents a side view of the new cultivar.
Sheet 2 is a top view.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines each characteristic was collected from asexual reproductions carried out by Oglevee Ltd. in Connellsville, Pa. The plant histories were taken on rooted cuttings believed to have been potted on approximately Feb. 1, 1996 and flowering on approximately Mar. 14, 1996 under full light and greenhouse, and colorings were taken indoors under 200-220 foot candles of fluorescent cool white light using the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
