The intensity of anthocyanin colouration of the flower bud, the peduncle, and on the inner surface of the corolla are weaker in 'Rebond' than in 'Superior'. 'Rebond' has a spherical light sprout shape with a medium intensity of anthocyanin colouration of the tip whereas it is ovoid with a weak intensity of anthocyanin colouration of the tip in the reference variety.

The variety is characterized by its yield and quality characteristics in the mid-season (120 days) trials.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Rebond' were conducted during the summer of 2008 at Pointe-aux-Outardes, Québec. There were two replicates of 200 tubers spaced 25 cm apart.
