Abstract Blackspot resistance in the tetraploid rose genotype 91/100–5 had been characterised previously as a single dominant gene in duplex configuration. In the present study a tetraploid progeny (95/3) segregating for the presence of the blackspot resistance gene Rdr1 were screened with 868 RAPD and 114 AFLP primers/primer combinations. Seven AFLP markers were found to be linked to Rdr1 at distances between 1.1 and 7.6 cM. The most closely linked AFLP marker was cloned and converted into a SCAR marker that could be screened in a larger population than the original AFLP and was linked at a distance of 0.76 cM. The cloned fragment was used as an RFLP probe to locate the marker on a chromosome map of diploid roses. This is the first report of markers linked to a resistance gene in roses, and the possibilities of using them for a marker-assisted selection for blackspot resistance as well as for map-based cloning approaches are discussed.
