Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named BSR-152 Dark Pink is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the Caligo cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,682) was pollinated by the Eurema cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,681). The new cultivar forms attractive very large pink blossoms combined with a strong basal branching character and a compact upright mounded growth habit and can be readily distinguished from the Delias cultivar (U.S. Plant patent application pending).
