Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Oglreg3067' were conducted in the spring of 2009, in a greenhouse in St. Thomas, Ontario. Trials included 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were initially grown in St. Catherines from cuttings rooted into 6 cm cells and grown at 68 degrees Fahrenheit for 9 weeks, with one pinch at 5 weeks. Plants were cold treated at 42 degrees Fahrenheit with 14 hours of daylight (High-Intensity Discharge lighting) for 4 weeks following which plants were transplanted into 15 cm pots. Plants were grown for a further 12 weeks at 64 degrees Fahrenheit in St. Thomas until flowering. Measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on May 6, 2009. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
