Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'KLEPH05111' was developed in Stuttgart, Germany, and originated from a controlled cross conducted between the proprietary seedlings U 262 and V162. From this cross 23 seedlings were selected, based on flower colour and growth habit. In May 2003, one of the seedlings was designated as 'KLEPH05111'. The new variety was evaluated at greenhouse trials in Stuttgart and assessed for flowering time and growth habit. Outdoor performance trials were conducted to assess rain resistance and tolerance to powdery mildew.
Tests & Trials: The trials for 'KLEPH05111' were conducted during the spring of 2007, in a polyhouse in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trials consisted of a total of 15 plants of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings planted into 15cm pots on April 24, 2007. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 5, 2007. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour chart.
