Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Chrysanthemum×morifolium.

Varietal denomination: ‘CIDZ0035’.

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘CIDZ0035’.

‘CIDZ0035’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has yellow-orange colored, daisy-spoon type inflorescences, vigorous growth habit and an 8 week flowering response time.

‘CIDZ0035’ originates as a natural whole plant mutation of ‘Syngold Emporia’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,436. ‘CIDZ0035’ was discovered and selected by the inventor as a single flowering plant within a population of the parent cultivar, growing in pots under a shade structure in Fort Myers, Fla., in March 2009. The parent cultivar ‘Syngold Emporia’ has golden colored inflorescences, slightly longer foliage length, somewhat darker petioles and shorter peduncles compared to ‘CIDZ0035’.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIDZ0035’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in June 2009 in a greenhouse in Fort Myers, Fla.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in June 2009, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘CIDZ0035’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

‘CIDZ0035’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length.

Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar were applied for in Canada on Jul. 29, 2011, No. 11-7351 and in Brazil on Aug. 14, 2012, No. 218060001842012. ‘CIDZ0035’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing of this application.

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Chrysanthemum as a new and distinct variety.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS

The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘CIDZ0035’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type.

The photographic drawing shows 4 flowering plants of the new variety, and a close-up of the flowers.

 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

The plant descriptions, measurements and aforementioned photographs were taken in Gilroy, Calif. in January 2012 under natural light. These plants were grown 4 plants in a 5 inch pot under center bud removal and blackcloth controlled greenhouse trial conditions in Gilroy, Calif. These plants were 10-12 weeks old.

Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.) 2001.
