A Zarya Severa × Sankt Laurent hybrid obtained in 1964 at the Geisenheim (D) research station, Rondo is very early and very resistant to downy mildew, a little less to powdery mildew. This red-fleshed interspecies hybrid is used as a color enhancer in blends. Its presence in German-speaking Switzerland is anecdotal.
