Origin & Breeding History: 'VEAZ0014' originated from a cross pollination conducted in August 2007 by the breeder as part of a controlled breeding program in Gilroy, California, United States. The cross involved proprietary lines designated '05-1892-1' as the female parent and '07-1985-1' as the male parent. The resultant seed was collected and sown in a greenhouse in Gilroy in February 2008. In May 2008, 'VEAZ0014' was selected based on its flower colour and plant habit.

Tests & Trials: The PBR trials for 'VEAZ0014' were conducted in a polyhouse during the summer/fall of 2012 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included a total of 20 plants each of the candidate and reference varieties. The plants were grown from rooted cuttings and transplanted into 15 cm pots on July 24, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on September 17, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
