'VLR001' originated from a cross conducted by the breeders Rumen Conev and Parminderjit Sandhu at the Vineland Research and Innovations Centre Inc. in 2011. The female parent selection '20ALFR05' and the male parent selection '27YSP0412' were developed at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Morden Research Station in Manitoba and subsequently moved to Vineland Research Station in 2010, prior to the initial cross which resulted in 'VLR001'. In 2013, seedlings of 'VLR001' were evaluated based on flower colour, flower abundance, plant growth habit; and disease tolerance to blackspot, Cercospora leaf spot and powdery mildew. Plants were distributed to nine other locations across Canada in 2014 for further evaluation.
