Lindley

The white grape variety is an interspecific new breeding between Carter (Isabella seedling) x White Chasselas (Chasselas). Synonyms are Lindli, Rogers 9 and Rogers Hybrid 9. It contains genes from Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed in1862 by the breeder E. S. Rogers in Salem/Massachusetts. The red-berried vine was named in honour of the English botanist John Lindley (1799-1865), who is considered the "father of orchidology". It is an all-female grape variety and is therefore dependent on cross-pollination. It was a crossing partner in the new variety Brilliant. The variety is used as a wine grape variety and table grape. No stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).
