The female parent was a proprietary seedling with deep rose red coloured flowers, designated 1543A-1, and the male parent was a proprietary seedling with coral rose coloured flowers, designated 1512-1. The resultant seed was collected and sown in a greenhouse in Gilroy in February 2006. A single plant was selected from the progeny in May 2006, based on criteria for flower colour and compact plant habit.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Cal Roosall' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2011 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 30 cm hanging baskets on May 11, 2011. Each basket contained 4 cuttings with a total of 5 baskets per variety. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on July 4, 2011. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
