‘Antique Curl’, a bicolor standard rose withpowdery mildew resistance, was developed by NationalInstitute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHH), RuralDevelopment Administration (RDA), Korea in 2011. Thiscultivar was derived from the cross done in spring season2007 between ‘Aladin’, a pink colored standard cultivarwith long vase life, and ‘Red Queen’, a red coloredstandard cultivar with powdery mildew resistance. Afterripening, seeds were picked and stored at 4oC for 3months, and 219 seedlings were gained in January 2008.After investigating traits for three years from 2009 to 2011(UPOV standards), ‘Wonkyo D1-179’ was selected in2011. Finally, it was named as ‘Antique Curl’. It hadimproved flower shape and larger flower size, and itsconsumer preference was greater than that of referencecultivar ‘Moon light’. Powdery mildew infection degree,determined by artificial inoculation, was 0.8, whichindicated that ‘Antique Curl’ was resistant to powderymildew. The flower was bicolored in yellow (Y2C) and pink(R49A). Petal shape of ‘Antique Curl’ was elliptical, flowertype was high centered type, and the number of petal was56.7. Leaf of ‘Antique Curl’ was green (G139A) and thenumber of leaves was 9.1. Whole shape of terminal leafletwas ovate. The major characteristics of this cultivar wereyield of 135.5 stems/m2/year, cut flower length of 65.8cm,flower diameter of 12.3cm, and vase life of 16.8 days. Thiscultivar could be propagated by both rooted cutting and grafting. ‘Antique Curl’ (Grant No. 4456) was registered atKorea Seed and Variety Service (KSVS) for plantprotection rights in 2013.
