Controlled Pollination: seed parent ‘Dicjana’ x pollen parent ‘unnamed seedling’ in a planned breeding program in 1986. The seed parent is bred by the same breeder, which is characterised by deep cream flowers with weak fragrance. The pollen parent is a proprietary breeding stock plant within the breeder’s private collection. Selection criteria: from this cross, ‘Dictator’ was selected for development on the basis of compact growth habit and colour
