The cross was between an unnamed seedling, designated as 219, as the female parent and an unnamed seedling, designated as 202-717, as the male parent. In August 2003, the new variety was selected from the progeny as a single seedling for criteria based on appearance, size and colour of the flower as well as good plant vigour. The new variety was first propagated by softwood cuttings and grafting in the spring of 2004 in Lynn, United Kingdom.
Tests & Trials: 'Notwoodthree' was tested in an outdoor trial during the spring of 2008 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial consisted of a total of 16 plants of the candidate variety and 8 plants of the reference variety. All plants were grown from 4 1/2 inch rooted liners and transplanted into 2 gallon containers on June 2, 2008. Observations and measurements were taken from each variety on July 17, 2008. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
