In September 2007, a single plant was selected from the progeny, based on flower colour, plant growth habit, foliage colour, plant vigour, and abundant flowers.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Cas Raspry' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2011 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 15 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 11.5 cm pots on April 27, 2011. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 14, 2011. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
