Origin & Breeding History: 'Rosy Yoigloo' was discovered by the breeder, Mr. Mark A. Smith, an employee of Yoder Brothers, Inc. in Barberton, Ohio, USA. It is a naturally occurring whole plant mutation of the Chrysanthemum variety 'Warm Yoigloo'. 'Rosy Yoigloo' was discovered and selected in December 2003, in Alva, Florida, USA. The selection of this plant was based on its early (natural season) flowering time, uniform plant growth habit, desirable inflorescence form, inflorescence size and floret colour. Asexual reproduction of 'Rosy Yoigloo' by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Alva, Florida, USA in February 2004.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Rosy Yoigloo' were conducted outdoors during the summer of 2007 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. Twenty liners of each variety were transplanted into 20 cm pots on June 7, 2007. The plants were grown outdoors with drip irrigation, in rows spaced 50 cm apart. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on August 30. Flower characteristics were observed at full flower on October 18 & 25. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
