Notes:
Summary In breeding for color and winter hardiness in Rosa, more than 1200 progeny from 47 families were analyzed for anthocyanin pigments. Cyanin, peonin and pelargonin were found in 99%, 52% and 31% respectively, of the seedlings. Each pigment was highly heritable from seed or pollen parents or both. All showed quantitative inheritance, particularly cyanin and peonin. A system is proposed to explain most of the synthetic pathways and controls for anthocyanin production in roses.
