Impatiens plant named `Pink Ruffle`

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens wallerana, and named `Pink Ruffle` is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated 359-2 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated 30-2-2 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar is early blooming and forms in abundance attractive fully double coral-pink blooms. The foliage is medium green. The plant exhibits a good basal-branching character and exhibits an upright mounded growth habit. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the `Rosebud Pink` cultivar (non-patented in the United States) in view of the more compact growth habit that is provided.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens wallerana plant named `Pink Ruffle` substantially as herein shown and described, which: (a) exhibits attractive fully double coral-pink blooms in abundance,   (b) is early blooming,   (c) forms medium green foliage,   (d) exhibits a good basal-branching character, and   (e) exhibits an upright mounded growth habit.
