Australia - Patent No: AU3823P on 6 Jun 2009 Application No: 2006/103 on 8 May 2006 VIEW PBR PATENTin May 1993 Seed parent unnamed seedling was crossed with pollen parent ‘Noaschnee’. Hips produced remained on bush until Oct (autumn) when harvested and shelled. In Feb 1994 seeds were planted under controlled greenhouse conditions: germination commenced in Feb, and seedlings first bloomed in Apr (Northern Hemisphere). Out of this seedling population, the best seedlings were selected for further trials. From these the seedling, now known as ‘Korstarnow’, was selected for further testing. This new variety was multiplied in number by vegetative propagation via shoot cuttings, flowered for over five generations and appeared genetically stable. Selection criteria: improved garden rose variety. Breeding directed by William Kordes, of W.Kordes’ Sohne Rosenschulen GMBH & Co KG, Sparrieshoop, Germany.
