Origin & Breeding History: 'KLECA14264' originated from a controlled cross conducted by the breeder, Anita Stoever, in Stuttgart, Germany. The cross was made between two proprietary varieties, the female parent 'CA 2009-1388' and the male parent 'CA 2008-0441', conducted in the summer of 2010. Seedlings were selected in May 2011 based on their plant growth habit, double-type flowers and flower colour. The selected seedlings were evaluated in greenhouse trials from February to May in 2012, 2013 and 2014, in Stuttgart, Germany. A single seedling was selected for commercialization and named 'KLECA14264' in July 2013.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLECA14264' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2015/1620, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany in 2016. The colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
