Abstract
Chrysanthemum Wain's Pink Lady is a new cultivar, distinguished by its overall pink color with a rose colored eye, an exceptionally upright to spreading branching habit and good flowering characteristics. Wain's Pink Lady originated from a cross made by Peter Wain in a controlled breeding program in Havant, Hampshire, England. The female parent of Wain's Pink Lady was the commercial plant Pink Arola and the male parent was a numbered unnamed seedling designated "1 WX-87". Wain's Pink Lady was selected as one flowering plant from the progeny of the stated cross because of the unusual overall pink color of the flowers. The unique flower color is distinct from the lavender color of the female parent Pink Arola. Additionally, Wain's Pink Lady's contrasting rose colored eye makes its appearance even more distinguishable from either the male parent, 1 WX-87, or a commercially marketed Chrysanthemum named Charm which is similar in capitulum and habit to Wain's Pink Lady.
