Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Bani Rossa' originated from a self pollinated cross made in Gilroy, California, USA in June 2004. The female parent was a proprietary line designated 93-2. The resultant seed was sown in a greenhouse in February 2005. In June 2005, a single plant from the progeny was selected by the breeder based on flower colour, plant habit and production characteristics.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Bani Rossa' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2010 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of fifteen plants of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 18, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from ten plants or parts of plants on June 30, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
