Abstract
A new and distinct regal geranium plant with striking rose pink colored flowers having some petals accented by a very deep burgundy middle shading to bright pink with salmon highlights above medium green foliage. The new cultivar has improved cutting production, rooting speed, crop time and flower quantity over `Majestic` and `Grand Slam`.
Description
This discovery relates to a new and distinct cultivar of geranium identified by the name of `Dandy`, Breeder No. 93-30-16 and Oglevee, Ltd. No. 19. The seedling of the present cultivar was the offspring of parent plants, identified by Breeder Nos. 90-70-20 and 90-93-20, which are maintained proprietary by the breeder, in a selective breeding program conducted at The Pennsylvania State University, Department of Horticulture, University Park, Pa. The purpose of the breeding program was to create new regal geranium genotypes with clear, bright color flowers, excellent propagation characteristics, compact growth habit, predictable and consistent flowering response and good postharvest quality. The new cultivar was discovered at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pa. and was first asexually reproduced by cuttings on Oct. 3, 1994. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive generations.
The new cultivar, when grown in a glass greenhouse in Connellsville, Pa. using full light, 60° F. night temperature, 68° F. day temperature and grown in a soilless media with constant fertilizer at 150-200 ppm nitrogen and potassium, has a response time from a rooted cutting to a flowering plant in a 6 inch pot of fourteen weeks. Rooted cuttings potted Oct. 15, 1997 flowered on Feb. 9, 1998.
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new cultivar, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type. The colors described in the specification are seen when viewing the plant in person, and the photographic drawing illustrates the specified colors as best as possible.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out at Oglevee, Ltd., 152 Oglevee Lane, Connellsville, Pa. 15425. The color readings on a plant grown in a 5 inch pot were taken indoors under 200-220 foot candles of cool white fluorescent light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.

Cutting produciton, rooting speed, crop time and flower quantity are all improved over `Majestic` U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,387 and `Grand Slam` (unpatented). Consistent early flower response time and longer keeping quality are also good characteristics of this new cultivar. In particular, `Dandy` is earlier to flower than `Majestic` and `Grand Slam` by 2 weeks and 4 weeks, respectively. `Dandy` remains in flower in the home under low light for 14 to 21 days, whereas `Majestic` lasts 12 to 16 days and `Grand Slam` lasts 10 to 12 days. `Dandy` has been trialed during the winters and springs of 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 and has proven to be reliable and consistent.
