Origin & Breeding History: 'Chewpatout' originated from a controlled cross conducted by the breeder, Christopher Hugh Warner, in Newport, Shropshire, United Kingdom in June 2005. The cross was made between the variety 'Pathfinder', as the female parent, and the variety 'Knockout Radrazz', as the male parent. From the resulting progeny, 'Chewpatout' was selected in June 2007 based on its continuous blooming, bright red flower colour and disease resistance. Asexual reproduction of 'Chewpatout' was first conducted by budding in July 2008 in Brockton, Newport, Shropshire, United Kingdom.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'Chewpatout' was conducted as an outdoor irrigated container trial during the summer of 2017 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 9 plants of the candidate variety and 10 plants of the reference variety. All plants were grown from 10 cm rooted liners and transplanted into 11 litre containers in July 2016. The plants were overwintered in an above-zero double polyhouse and moved outdoors in early spring 2017. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or 10 parts of plants, of each variety on August 8, 2017. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
