Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Zopflair' originated from a controlled cross conducted in May 2004 in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands. The female parent was the variety 'Sil Teske' and the male parent was the variety 'Free Cherry Rose'. The resultant seed from the cross was sown in a greenhouse in December 2004. The new variety was selected as a single seedling from the progeny in May 2005 in Enkhuizen, based on criteria for flower colour, plant habit and production characteristics.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Zopflair' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, reference number PEL2417, purchased from the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany. Trials were conducted at Hannover in 2010. Colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
