Abstract
A new and distinct New Guinea Impatiens cultivar named Raspberry Rose is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein a plant designated N2507-3 (non-patented in the United States) was pollinated by a plant designated 3616-A (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar forms large dark rose colored flowers with a white eye which exhibit an iridescent appearance, forms medium green foliage, and displays a moderate growth habit. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the Danserra cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,264).
