Origin & Breeding History: 'VLR001' originated from a cross conducted by the breeders Rumen Conev and Parminderjit Sandhu at the Vineland Research and Innovations Centre Inc. in 2011. The female parent selection '20ALFR05' and the male parent selection '27YSP0412' were developed at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Morden Research Station in Manitoba and subsequently moved to Vineland Research Station in 2010, prior to the initial cross which resulted in 'VLR001'. In 2013, seedlings of 'VLR001' were evaluated based on flower colour, flower abundance, plant growth habit; and disease tolerance to blackspot, Cercospora leaf spot and powdery mildew. Plants were distributed to nine other locations across Canada in 2014 for further evaluation.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'VLR001' was conducted outdoors during the summer of 2018 at the Vineland Research and Innovations Centre Inc. located in Vineland Station, Ontario. The trial included 6 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. One year old plants of 'VLR001' and two year old plants of both reference varieties were transplanted into 11 litre containers in April 2018. Observations and measurements were taken from 6 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on July 26, 2018. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
