Rouse is a midseason to late flowerng cultivar. It is a replacement for Gosse and Napier with a flowering time between them but superior field performance (ssp. yanninicum).
Sub Clover
Rouse
IMPROVED FORAGE YIELDS AND REGENERATION
Rouse has higher forage yield, especially in autumn/winter, higher seed yields and higher seedling regeneration densities than Gosse. It also has higher resistance to both Races 1 and 2 of clover scorch disease and to leaf rust than Gosse.
Rouse is well adapted to moderately acidic (pH CaCl2 4.5-6.5) soils prone to waterlogging and 550- 900 mm annual rainfall and where the growing season extends to mid-late November.
