Origin & Breeding History: 'KLEPZ07197' originated from a controlled cross pollination conducted in July 2002 in Stuttgart, Germany. The cross was between the varieties 'Vineta' and 'Sailing'. In June 2003, 390 seedlings were selected, one of which would be named 'KLEPZ07197'. Selection criteria included good plant growth and habit, flower colour and early flowering. The new variety was evaluated in greenhouse trials in Stuttgart during 2004 to 2005. Outdoor trials were conducted to evaluate performance and tolerance to weather conditions.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'KLEPZ07197' is based on the UPOV Report of Technical Examination, application number PEL 2247, purchased from the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany. The trials were conducted by the Bundessortenamt in 2008. Colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
