5

The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Chrysanlhemumxmorzfolium, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘CIDZ0015’. ‘CIDZ0015’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has intense red-purple ray ?oret color, medium green foliage, six weeks ?owering response, small sized foliage, very compact growth habit and is very freely branching. 15

more whorls of ray ?orets than ‘CIDZ0015’.

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 Chry santhemum as a new and distinct variety.

The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical

‘CIDZ0015 ’ originated from a hybridization made inApril 2007 in a controlled breeding environment in Salinas, Calif.

USA. The female parent was the proprietary plant designated ‘YB-A1859’, unpatented, with dark pink ?owers and with

A Plant Breeder’ s Right for this cultivar was applied for in Canada on Aug. 17, 2010 (10-7073). ‘CIDZ0015’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the

‘CIDZ0015 ’ was selected as one ?owering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in March 2008 in a controlled

environment in Fort Myers, Fla. USA.

The plant descriptions, measurements and aforementioned photographs were taken in Gilroy, Calif. in early May 2011 under natural light. These plants were propagated and grown in Nipomo, Calif. and shipped to Gilroy, Calif. for the data collection and photographs. These plants were approximately 11 weeks of age; grown with three plants together in a ?ve inch bulb pan under greenhouse trial conditions.

The ?rst act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIDZ0015’ was

accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in June 2008, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘CIDZ0015’ are ?rmly ?xed and are

retained through successive generations of asexual reproduc tion.
