Description: PLANT: erect growth habit, medium to dense STEM: moderate density of pubescence LEAF BLADE: broadest part in middle, acute apex, no variegation, medium green on upper side, moderate density of pubescence on upper side, very sparse pubescence on lower side, very weak undulation of margin PEDUNCLE: branched BUD: pointed to rounded apex, dark purple red (RHS 187B-C) with brown purple (RHS 185C) towards apex FLOWER HEAD: predominantly positioned high above foliage, lower part concave in lateral view, upper part concave to flat in lateral view INVOLUCRE: one colour BRACT: multi-coloured, striations present, medium degree of incurving UPPER BRACT (INNER SIDE): lower third white (RHS 155D), middle third purple to purple red (RHS 60C-D), upper third dark purple red (RHS 60B) LOWER BRACT (INNER SIDE): lower third white (RHS 155D), middle third purple red (RHS 59D) and brown purple (RHS 185C), upper third dark purple red (RHS 187B-C) PAPPUS: yellow Origin and Breeding: Bondre 1051 originated from a controlled pollination conducted in August 2009, in New South Wales, Australia between the female parent, proprietary seedling and the male parent, proprietary seedling The initial selection of Bondre 1051 was made in March Selection criteria included flower size, strong rose coloured bracts, flower number, and overal appearance. Tests and Trials: The comparative trial for Bondre 1051 was conducted in a polyhouse during the summer of 2015 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. The trial included 20 plants each of the candidate and reference variety. Rooted cuttings were transplanted into 11.5 cm pots on May 11, Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of each variety on June 17, All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
