Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named BSR-202 Blush White is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein the Samia cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,730) was pollinated by the Equinox cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,297). The new cultivar forms attractive very light pink or blush white blossoms combined with a strong basal branching character and a compact small mounded growth habit and can be readily distinguished from the Equinox cultivar.
