Geranium plant named Sunrise

Abstract

The new and distinct Pelargonium×hortorum×Pelargonium×peltatum cultivar of the ivy type named `Sunrise` is provided. This new ivy/Zonal Geranium was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated 1497-1 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by the `Renee` cultivar U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,353). The new cultivar forms attractive single coral red florets. The medium green foliage with slight zonation is well retained during shipment. The growth habit is medium vigorous and cascading with excellent basal branching in the absence of a growth regulator.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Geranium plant named `Sunrise`, substantially as herein shown and described, which: (a) exhibits attractive single coral red florets,   (b) forms attractive medium green foliage with slight zonation, and   (c) exhibits a medium vigorous and cascading growth habit with excellent basal branching in the absence of a growth regulator.
