Interspecific cross between ontario (winchell x diamond) and sultana made in 1972 by John Einset (1915/1981) at the New York State Agricultural Experimental Station (United States). It is certainly known in the United States but also in Canada, in many European wine-producing countries including Germany and England where it is cultivated under greenhouses and tunnels, most often cold, ... little multiplied and therefore little known in France except by amateur gardeners. The interlaken which looks a little like the himrod, the himrod and the romulus have the same parents.
