What is cultivar registration?
Registration of cultivar names is a process that was begun due to the increasing numbers of cultivars available in the nursery trade today. Information regarding the cultivar’s parentage, selection, propagation, introduction, and distinguishing characteristics are sent to the appropriate registration authority (there are different ones for different plant groups), who then checks the information to determine whether or not the proposed cultivar name is already registered for another cultivar. If the name is not already being used, and if it is a legitimate cultivar name according to the guidelines given below, the registration authority will then officially register the plant, adding it to the cultivar register. In most cases, registration authorities are not able to check out the cultivar to see that it is truly different from others, or that it is “worthy” of naming and registration. This is to be determined by the person requesting the registration. Why register cultivars? There are
