Abstract
A light pink double freesia (Freesia hybrida Hort.) 'Pink Ribbon' was developed from a cross of breeding a line, 'Pink Jewel' derived 'Michelle' and 'Rossini' and 'Purple Rain' followed by seedling and line selections at the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS), Rural Development Administration (RDA) in 2008. Growth and flowering characteristic tests were conducted from 2004 to 2007. 'Pink Ribbon' has double type flower with light pink color (RHS, RP66C). It has simultaneous flowering of many florets, good flower shape, upright leaves and stalks. The average cut flower yield of 'Purple Rain' observed in the greenhouse from 2005 to 2007 was 7.7 cuttings per plant. It has good production of cormlets, vigorous growth, too. 'Purple Rain' could be cultured under greenhouse conditions in Korea.
