Abstract

A variety of Dahlia with low plant growing habit producing attractive pink flowers is described.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of dahlia plant known by the varietal denomination `Rowendy`.
`Rowendy` is a product of a breeding and selection program in which the female and male parents were selected proprietary seedlings of my creation identified by numbers 881600 and 881602, respectively. The parents were descendants from the variety `Figaro`, a well known seed dahlia, which is regarded as a standard for flower form habit and leaf size, but having little or no similarity to the new variety. The new variety was asexually reproduced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety is an attractive dahlia plant with low growing habit which produces attractive pink flowers against a background of attractive, abundant medium green foliage. The plant is compact and suitable to both pot plant production and for use in outdoor gardens. Inflorescence is compact and extends above foliage with flowers borne on relatively short pedicels. Plant height at flowering is about 18 cm.
Asexual reproduction by cuttings of the new variety at Parrish, Fla. has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as described herein for `Wendy` are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. Cuttings of the new variety produce a good branching root system, which, on the adult plant, are compact finger-shaped tubers that develop a number of young buds at the tuber crown which grow out in the early spring period.
`Rowendy` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, day length and cultural conditions.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows a typical specimen of the new variety in colors as nearly true as possible with an illustration of this type. The illustration depicts growth habit, flower position relative to leaves and flower color.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
In the following description, color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, where color values refer to color plate numbers in this chart.
The closest variety to `Rowendy` is the variety `Betty`, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,762. The new variety differs from `Betty` in flower coloration and plant habit, as well as flower size.
The following observations are of plants described and grown in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands under greenhouse and outdoor conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice. Among the traits possessed by the new variety which in combination distinguish it from other varieties are its compact plant habit of growth, light pink flower color and flower size.
Species: Dahlia.
Botanical name: Dahlia Cav.
UPOV Group: Group V -- decorative -- Class D.
Breeder's reference: 914826/Rowendy.
The new variety is a seedling.
