In August 2010, seed was sown from a directed cross between two breeding lines. In December these seedlings flowered for the first time and the variety was selected in June 2011 on the bases of flower colour and fragrance. Cuttings were taken (Gen 1) to test propagation potential and further test horticultural traits. Four more generations of cuttings were taken between January 2012 and January 2013 and the variety has been uniform and stable for the traits it was selected for. Breeder: John C. Gray and Sylvia E. Gray, Brindabella Country Gardens, Highfields, QLD.

`GRAsalm` is a seedling selection which resulted from the controlled cross-pollination of an unnamed Rosa hybrid female breeding line and an unnamed Rosa hybrid male breeding line....
During the summer of 2010, the female parent was emasculated and was manually pollinated with pollen from the male parent.
