Seed was planted in December 1997 and germinated during the winter and early spring. In the spring of 1998, 'Evipo025' was selected in the greenhouse at Guernsey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom. Selection criteria included compact growth habit, flower colour, good repeat flowering, good flowering on young plants, suitability to small container use.

Tests & Trials: 'Evipo025' was tested at St. Thomas, Ontario. Ten bare root liners of both the candidate and reference variety were planted in the field on September 18, 2004. Plants were spaced .6 metres apart and trained to grow along a trellis. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plant parts on June 15, 2006. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
