Raphiolepis indica variety named `Conor`

Abstract

A new distinct variety of Raphiolepis indica found as an openly pollinated seedling of Raphiolepis indica `Jack Evans`. The new variety is distinct with its thick leathery upturned leaves with revolute margins, bronze new growth, dense and mounding growth hibit, pink semi-double flowers, improved cold hardiness, and increased resistance to leaf spot and fireblight.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and unique variety of Raphiolepis indica plant named Raphiolepis indica `Conor` as herein shown and described, is characterized by its dense and mounding growth habit, slow growth rate, thick leathery upturned leaves with unique revolute margins, bronze new growth and fragrant semi-double pink flowers; the landscape value of this plant is increased by the improved cold hardiness and resistance to leaf spot and fireblight as well as its tolerance of heat, drought, wind, salt, insects, and soil type.
