Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Invebroich' originated from a controlled cross made in Gensingen, Germany in the summer of 2008. The female parent was a proprietary seedling, designated Ve07-0001-6, characterized by its red flower colour and the male parent was a proprietary seedling, designated Ve07-0020-13, characterized by its apricot flower colour. The new variety was selected as a single plant from the resultant progeny in the spring of 2009 in Gensingen. Selection criteria included excellent plant habit, flower colour and tolerance to mildew. The new variety was first propagated by vegetative cuttings in 2009.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Invebroich' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2012 in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 2, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on June 6, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
