NEW CULTIVARS HYBRIDIZED FOR GALL MITE RESISTANCE

In the 19^th century, only a handful of nurserymen-breeders generated a dazzling genetic legacy of fuchsias

we now enjoy. I would suggest that the hundreds of amateur fuchsia growers today, working independently,

could cumulatively accomplish even more by growing seed saved from mite-resistant plants that are pollinated

randomly among the rich varieties present in their gardens.

HYBRIDS BY DR. PETER BAYE, San Francisco Botanical Garden/Strybing Arboretum: Dr. Baye has been hybridizing fuchsias for the garden and testing for gall mite resistance for some ten years. Some have been deliberate crosses with others done by Mother Nature. In the PNW, they will be tested for hardiness; most will probably do well. These may not be all of them, nor are they all available outside of California- yet:

(Name- (parentage). Blossom type (Single…). Growth (Upright-Lax-Trailing). Blossom color- Sepals/Petals. Comments.) * Where they are available. See KEY below.

'Albrae'- [Campo Hatschbach (F. campos-portoi x F. hatschbachii) x likely Campo Molina pollen parent- F2 open pollination]. S Lax. Red/Purple. F.magellanica blossom form. Easy to propagate as sticks. Probably hardy. *M

'Arouet Fils'- (Voltaire x F regia subsp regia). S U. Red/Purple. Dark, purplish leaves with red veins. Probably hardy. * Being propagated for nurseries.

'Blush Fandent'- (F. denticulata x). White tube, blush to white- green tips. Prolific bloom; not vigorous; hard to propagate with green tips.

'Campo Molina' (F. campos-portoi x F. magellanica ‘Alba’). S Lax. Red/Purple. Small leaves; woody, tall plant that will spread by suckering. Immune; no galls form. Rust resistant. Probably hardy.

'Campopple'- (Mrs. Popple x Campo Victrix). S Lax. Red/Purple. Strongly resistant; slight gall mite damage to leaves. Probably hardy. * Being propagated for nurseries.

'Campo Thilco'- (F. campos- portoi x F. magellanica). S Lax. Red/Purple. Prolific & long bloom period; easy. Immune to gall mite damage; no galls form. Hardy.

'Campo Victor'- sibling to Campo Victrix (see below) but lighter in color. Probably hardy. * F

'Campo Victrix'- (F. campos-portoi. x Venus Victrix). S Lax, Pale pink- green tips/Dark pink. Spherical tubes. Flowers 3 per node. Strongly resistant; slight gall mite damage to leaves. Hardy. * F, K, Ma, M

'Dr. Godronson'- - (Dominyana x F. denticulata). S U. Scarlet. Large (larger than Dr. Mahoney), waxy flowers, reflexed sepals; purple stems; large, oval purplish leaves. Strongly resistant; slight gall mite damage to leaves. Probably not hardy.

'Dr. Mahoney'- (Dominyana x F. denticulata). S U. Scarlet with pinkish highlights. Large, waxy flowers; purple stems; large, oval purplish leaves. Strongly resistant; slight damage to leaves. Probably not hardy.

'Galfrey Blush'- (Campo-Victrix x Lye’s Unique- sibling to Galfrey Lye). S Lax. White flushed pink/Dusky carmine pink. Self-branching; light green foliage. Strongly resistant; slight gall mite damage. * F, Ma, M, S

'Galfrey Lye'- (Campo-Victrix x Lye’s Unique- sibling to Galfrey Blush). S Lax. White- tipped pink/Dark carmine pink. Long pedicels, wine red stems; early boom; prolific. Strongly resistant; slight gall mite damage. * F, M

'Grand Harfare'-, (Fanfare x F harlingii) S Lax. Orange tube/Orange- black-green tips/Dark, smoky orange-red; Long, fluted tubes, glossy sepals; dark green glossy leaves, Erect, arching growth. Probably not hardy.

'Harfare Chinook'- (Fanfare x F harlingii) S Lax. Salmon-coral. Like Grand Harfare in shape and texture. Probably not hardy.

'Horicon'- (California x Campo Victrix) S Lax. Medium pink-orange/Darker pink. Probably hardy.

'Issac Rowan'- (Corallina x F hatschbachii). S Lax.. Red/Purple. Prolific bloom; slower growing, compact shrub. Probably hardy.

'Jan Jolie'- (F. regia x- pollen parent possibly Hanna- sibling to Ruddy Rodney). S Lax. Red/Purple. Probably hardy.

'Kyle Peter'- (Corallina x F hatschbachii). S Lax. Red/Purple. Prolific, long bloom; recurved sepals; purple-red stems, purple flushed green, leathery leaves. Highly resistant- infrequent galls. Rust resistant. Probably hardy.

'Mendonoma Belle'- (Albrae x F. regia hybrid). S Lax. Red/Purple. Vigorous plant. Fully resistant. Probably hardy. * Being propagated for nurseries.

'Miri'- (Campo Victrix x Lye’s Unique). S Lax. Tube- watercolor washed pink. Light pink- green tips/ Dark smoky-pink. Medium height; serrated, bronze-purple leaves. Strongly resistant; slight damage to leaves.

'Porphyrio'- (Campo Thilco x F. regia). S Lax. Red/Purple.. Late blooming; large, vigorous, arching, much-branched plant; purplish foliage. Highly resistant- infrequent galls. Rust resistant. Probably hardy.

'Popplecorn'- (Mrs. Popple x Campo Victrix- sibling of Campopple). S Lax. Red/Purple. Sepals hug corolla. Strongly resistant; slight gall mite damage to leaves. Probably hardy. * M

'Ruddy Rodney'- (F. regia x- pollen parent possibly Hanna- open pollination-sibling to Jan Jolie). S Lax. Dull red/White with pale red veins. Probably hardy.

'Strybing’s Peach',- S Lax. Peach tube & sepals/Pale yellow. (F. fulgens x F splendens ), terminal panicles with prolific bloom, not vigorous, irregular shape. Highly resistant.

'Strybing’s Speciosa'- Sibling to St’s Peach. Darker red and more vigorous.

'Trailing Starcross'- (California x Campo Victrix- sibling to Horicon) S T. Medium, warm pink/Darker pink. Probably hardy.

'Turner Mathew'- (Corallina x F hatschbachii). S Lax. Red/Purple. Larger flowers than either parent; long slender tubes & sepals; very large leaves, reddish foliage. Strongly resistant; slight damage to leaves. Probably hardy.

MARY COOKE’S HYBRIDS- 2006:

An AFS member from Redwood City, California., Mary has been hybridizing for gall mite resistance for ~ 5 years. She anticipates some doubles and trailers and is registering them with AFS beginning in 2006 with these two:

'Jim Lewark'- (Campo Victor x Other Fellow) S Lax, white/orchid. Infrequent, self-limiting gall formation. * M

'Elegant Rose'- (Campo-Victor x Other Fellow) S Lax, shades of rose, sibling to Jim Lewark. Only occasional crinkling of a few leaves. * M

Key to specialist nurseries in the PNW and one in California that have some of these cultivars.

We are working on sources for the others, so check back. MO, if mail order is possible.
