Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Geranium plant named `Duebia`, characterized by its semi-double clear white flowers; numerous flowers per umbel; compact to medium plant size; medium green leaf color; medium-sized umbels; medium to large flower size; and freely branching plant habit.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Geranium plant, botanically known as Pelargonium×hortorum, and named `Duebia`. It is anticipated that the plant of this application will be marketed under the name "HWD Bianca". The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to develop a new freely branching, semi-double geranium with clear white semi-double flowers. The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of the proprietary selection 86-45-3 as the male or pollen parent with the proprietary selection 86-24-5 as the female or seed parent. The cultivar `Duebia` was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Rheinberg, Germany, in 1989. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Rheinberg, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Geranium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction. The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Duebia`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Duebia` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Semi-double clear white flowers.
2. Numerous flowers per umbel.
3. Compact to medium plant size.
4. Medium green leaf color.
5. Medium-sized umbels.
6. Medium to large flower size.
7. Freely branching.
Incomparison to the parent selection 86-45-3, plants of the new Geranium have larger flowers and lighter green foliage. In comparison to the parent selection 86-24-5, plants of the new Geranium have larger umbels. The new Geranium is similar in petal color to the cultivar `Fisbal` (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,392). Compared to plants of the cultivar `Fisbal`, plants of the new Geranium are larger and more freely branching. In addition, foliage of plants of the new Geranium have a less pronounced zonation pattern and the leaf margin is not as deeply crenated as plants of the cultivar `Fisbal`.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical potted plant of `Duebia` with one plant in a 10-cm container. Foliage color in the photograph appears darker than the actual due to light reflectance.
The cultivar `Duebia` has 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 observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Rheinberg, Germany, under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures of 24°C. and night temperatures of 18 to 20°C. and light levels of 45,000 to 60,000 lux. Plants were grown in 10cm pots with one plant per pot. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
