‘KORtutu’ was the resultant seedling from a cross between the seed parent ‘NOAwel’ and the pollen parent ‘KORtocrea’ in May 2000 at the breeding facility of W. Kordes Sohne in Sparrieshoop, Germany. The seedling was selected in May 2001 and was budded onto Rosa canina planted in the open field. Follow up selections took place in 2002 and 2007 and was commercially introduced in September 2008. Breeder: Wilhelm Kordes.

The new variety of rose plant of the present invention originated from a controlled crossing in a breeding program of two distinct parents during the summer of 2000. The crossing was between an unnamed seedling from the same breeder, and another unnamed seedling.
