Potentilla
fruticosa 'Marob'
"Marion Red Robin''
Potentilla
fruticosa 'Marob' "Marion Red Robin'' t.m. PBR 0130 U.S.P.P.
# 9321 was introduced to North America by our company 8 years
ago. The cultivar was bred and is owned by Mr. Laddie deJong of
Ireland. Mr. Adrian Bloom of Blooms of Bressingham (the agent
for Potentilla' Red Ace' ) and I had discussed the potential of
this plant for some time before it was decided to release it to
the trade. The cultivar is smaller, and redder for longer than '
Red Ace ' at both ends of the growing season. The tendency is
that' Red Ace' fades in summer from red to yellow while' Red
Robin' fades from red to orange. It is interesting to recognize
that recent research done on the Canadian prairies has
identified the gene within coloured Potentilla cultivars that
triggers the colour change by day lengths and heat.
Our company owns the Plant Breeders Rights in Canada and Hines
Nurseries Ltd., California owns the Plant Patent in the U.S.A.
Potentilla fruticosa 'Floppy Disk' was introduced by Mr. Peter
Catt of Liss Forest Nurseries , the breeder of many plant
cultivars. Peter is probably best known for the introduction of
Choisya ternata "Sundance", a golden sport of Choisya
ternata. Liss Forest nursery managed by Peter and Vincent Catt
is recognized internationally by the trade as one of the finest
production nurseries operated by the best Horticulturalists in
Europe.
Potentilla fruticosa'Orangeade' is a Canadian introduction from
the Potentilla breeding program at the University of Manitoba
and the Federal Research Station at Morden Manitoba. It is the
first cultivar released with concentration to the specifics of
color stabilization by gene manipulation.
Hines Nurseries inc. is now offering sub-licenses for Potentilla
" Marion Red Robin ". Please contact : Mr. Ted
