Description
Ezgi Dogan Meral, leading five colleagues, published a 2026 rose breeding study crossing a climber species with miniature cultivars to create new potted varieties. Rosa noisettiana served as seed parent, while ten popular miniature roses supplied pollen. The team measured pollen performance, fruit and seed set, and then tracked flower and plant traits in 861 first-generation hybrids.
All 250 controlled pollinations formed fruit, yielding 7,249 seeds with a germination rate near one fifth in the reported counts. Fruit set was near complete, yet recurrent blooming appeared in only a minority of offspring and many plants grew tall, awkward for pots. Flowering time, height, and petal number varied by parent pairing, while color varied less than expected, prompting calls for wider crosses and marker-based early selection.
