Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Geranium plant named Fisrom, particularly characterized by the combined features of dark red flower color which does not fade, double flower type, good branching, dark green leaves, relatively short internodes, and red spider mite tolerance.

Description

The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium, botanically known as Pelargonium peltatum, commonly known as Ivy Geranium and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Fisrom.
Fisrom is a product of a planned breeding program which had the objective of creating new Geranium cultivars with red flower color, double flower form, good branching, red spider mite resistance, fast rooting and good outside performance.
Fisrom was originated from a hybridization made by the inventor in a controlled breeding program in Galdar, Gran Canaria, Spain in 1983. The female parent was Yale, a cultivar having dark red flowers which later turn blue, slow rooting, and no resistance to red spider mite. The male parent of Fisrom was Tavira, a Pelargonium peltatum characterized by its light red flower color, vigorous growth habit, and long internodes.
Fisrom was discovered and selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross by Ingeborg Schumann in May 1984 in a controlled environment in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany.
The first act of asexual reproduction of Fisrom was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were taken from the initial selection in February 1985 in a controlled environment in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany by, or under the supervision of, Ingeborg Schumann.
Horticultural examination of selected units initiated in February 1985 and continuing thereafter has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for Fisrom are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
Fisrom has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength.
The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany, under greenhouse and outdoor conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics, of Fisrom, which, in combination, distinguish this Geranium as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Dark red flower color.
2. Medium green ivy shaped leaves.
3. Relatively short internodes.
4. Well branched habit.
5. Tolerance to red spider mite and diseases.
6. Fast rooting.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to Fisrom is the maternal parent Yale. Reference is made to attached Chart A which compares certain characteristics of Fisrom to those same characteristics of Yale. In general comparison to Fisrom, the red flower color of Yale is not persistent, later turning to blue, and it has longer internodes, inferior rooting, and a much stronger susceptibility to red spider mite.
The accompanying photographic color photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of Fisrom, with the colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type.
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.). The color values were determined between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. indoors on May 11, 1988 under 42,000 Lux light intensity at Hillscheid, Federal Republic of Germany.
