Origin & Breeding History: 'CHQZ0001' originated from an open pollinated cross that occurred during the summer of 2007 between the female parent variety 'Meteor Dark Pink' and pollen from an unknown male parent. The new variety was bred and developed by the breeder, an employee of Syngenta in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands, as part of a controlled breeding program. The resultant seed from the cross was sown in a greenhouse in September 2007. In January 2008, a single plant was selected from the progeny based on flower colour and plant habit.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'CHQZ0001' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2012 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11 cm pots on April 24, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 14, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
