'AAC 576' originated from a cross conducted by Larry Dyck, an employee of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, at the Morden Research Station in Morden, Manitoba. The cross was made in 2001 between female parent variety 'Y8' and male parent variety 'Frontenac'. In the spring of 2002, one seedling was selected and planted in the rose seedling field at the Morden Research Centre, further evaluated in 2003 and designated as '21Y8FR04'.
