Origin & Breeding History: 'ROBPWCRM' is a product of a planned breeding program developed by the plant breeder, Robert J. Roberson, in Grain Valley, Missouri, U.S.A. It originated from a cross made in August - September 1996 between the female parent variety 'Patriot Sunbeam' and the male parent variety 'Patriot Dove Wings'. 'ROBPWCRM' was selected from the resultant progeny in May 1997 based on its flower colour, profuse flowering, low seed set, vigourous growth and good production characteristics.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'ROBPWCRM' were conducted during the spring of 2008 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants per variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 13, 2008. Measured characteristics were based on measurements taken from 10 plants or parts of plants of each variety on July 4, 2008. All colour determinations were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
