A new standard rose cultivar ‘Noble Red’ was bred by the cross between the pink standard cultivar ‘Silba 87’ and the red standard cultivar ‘Bravo’ at the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science. The cross was made in 1999 and ‘Noble Red’ was finally selected in 2003 after investigating the characteristics such as flower Color, Fragrance, stem length, stem diameter, weight, and number of leaves for three years from 2001 to 2003. ‘Noble Red’, a red standard cultivar grows vigorously and has good flower shape. The major characteristics of this cultivar are 125 stems/m2/year in yield, 71.9 cm in length of cut flower, 6.0cm in flower diameter, 30.8 in petal number, and 9.2 days in vase life. This cultivar can be propagated by both cutting and grafting. The consumer’s preference of this cultivar is relatively higher than that of control cultivar, ‘Rote Rose’.
