Abstract:In order to breed new cultivars of Rosa chinensis with high humidity and heat tolerance, cross breeding was carried out with some cultivars of Rosa chinensis as parents, of which have high humidity and heat tolerance and good characters in Guangzhou. The results showed that four cultivars, ‘Pink Fan’, ‘Hi-ohgi’, ‘Golden Scepter’and ‘Claude Monet’, can be used as female parents, while ‘Australian Gold’, ‘Lavender Meidiland’, ‘Pink Fan’, ‘Hi-ohgi’ and ‘Golden Scepter’ have large amounts of pollen and can be used as male parents. There were great differences in fruit setting rates among different hybrid combinations. The fruit setting rate of ‘Golden Scepter’ × ’Pink Fan’ was 100%, that of ‘Claude Monet’ × ‘Lavender Meidiland’ was 90%, and that of ‘Hi-ohgi’ × ‘Scarlet Bonica’ was only 23.1%. There was also a difference in fruit setting between positive and negative cross in hybridization. For example, the fruit setting rate of ‘Golden Scepter’ × ‘Pink Fan’ was 100%, but that of ‘Pink Fan’ × ‘Golden Scepter’ was only 82.3%.
