Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named BSR-195 Salmon is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated BFP-67 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated BFP-10 (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms attractive very large somewhat flat salmon blossoms displaying an iridescent appearance combined with a basal branching character and an upright mounded growth habit, and can be readily distinguished from the Charade cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,787).
