Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named BSR-186 Bonfire Orange is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated N2275-1 (nonpatented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated N2317-1 (nonpatented in the United States). The new cultivar forms attractive orange-red blossoms combined with a strong basal branching character and a compact upright mounded growth habit and can be readily distinguished from the Ambrosia cultivar (U.S. Plant patent application pending).
