Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Inlbusnopr' originated from a controlled pollination made in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain in 2005. The cross was between two unnamed proprietary seedlings. The new variety was selected from the progeny of the cross in April 2006. Selection criteria included heat tolerance, fragrance, longer flowering period, indeterminate flowering and good plant vigour. The new variety was first propagated by vegetative cuttings in April 2007 in Germany.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Inlbusnopr' were conducted in a polyhouse during the spring of 2010 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of fifteen plants each of the candidate and reference variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on April 29, 2010. Observations and measurements were taken from ten plants or parts of plants on May 26, 2010. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
