Origin & Breeding History: 'Auscrowd' originated from a controlled cross between two unnamed seedlings conducted in Albrighton, United Kingdom in the summer of 2011. The new variety 'Auscrowd' was selected from the resulting progeny in 2012 based on flower size, flower colour, double flower type, fragrance, repeat flowering and overall plant health. 'Auscrowd' was selected for commercial introduction in February of 2019.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Auscrowd' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2019/2521, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office in Angers, France. The trial was conducted at the Bundessortenamt in Hannover, Germany in 2020. The colour determinations were made using the 2015 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
