A new standard pink rose cultivar 'Noble Eye' was bred from the cross between pink standard cultivar 'Noblesse' and pink standard cultivar 'Pretty Woman' at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services (JARES). The cross was made in 2003 and, 'Noble Eye' was finally selected in 2009 after investigating characteristics for three times from 2006 to 2009. 'Noble Eye' a pink standard cultivar has good flower shape with few prickles. The major characteristics of this cultivar was $125.7stems/m^2/year$ in yield. 69.8 cm in length of cut flower, 6.6 cm in flower diameter, 40.5 in petal number, and 9.4 days in vase life.

In this study we surveyed the preferences of consumer packaging for mini pot flower plants to improve the flower market application in Korea. The surveys were consisted of the consumers residing in Seoul metropolitan (221), Gyeonsang (70), Jeonla (29), Chungceong (19), Gangwon (7), other provinces (3). A total of 349 eligible respondents (male 173, female 176) were surveyed with a self-administered questionnaire asking on the general characteristics for residents, packaging material, packaging design, type of flower pot, degree of transparency, convenience, consumer's demand for packaging development, a significant point when purchasing the flower pot product. The collected date was analyzed using a chi-square (${\chi}^2$) statistical test in SPSS program. Most residents prefer for mini pot flower plants packed with packaging characteristics of plastic material (56.4%), packaging design of separated type (76.2%), angled type (62.5%), and transparency (48.6%). The other question results showed that major consumer's demand for mini pot flower plants is maintaining the freshness quality and stability structure for them. Transparency of packaging can also affect directly the preferences for purchasing the mini pot flower plants. The packaging structure with a proper shape design may protect the fresh mini pot flower plants from shock or any other damage during distribution. The results of this study help to provide consumer's demand for packaging development and to give the greatest advantages in terms of production and marketability of mini pot flower plants.

This study was carried out to characterize 127 recently developed cultivars of Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus spp.) in Korea and foreign Countries for landscape uses. The examined factors were growth characteristics such as tree height of a 1-year grafted plant(cm), plant type, growth habit, leaf characteristics such as shape and size, flower characteristics such as color, shape, size, and red eye during 2014 and 2015 for landscape uses. The results are obtained as follows; In the results of flower color of the 127 recently developed cultivars, pink color with red eye spot, white color with red eye spot, purplish red color with red eye spot, violet purple color with red eye spot, crimson color with red eye spot, asadal, blue color with red eye spot, and white color were distributed. In the flower characteristics, Hibiscus hybrid 'Daewangchun' had the largest flower size of 16.0cm out of the 127 cultivars. H. syriacus 'Antong', 'Lil Kim', and 'Ggoma' were cultivars with smaller flowers than other cultivars. H. syriacus 'Hunjang' had largest red eye, of 5.2cm of length compared to the other cultivars. The cultivars with unique flower color for landscape uses are H. syriacus 'Kwangmyung', 'Nanpa', 'North face', 'Bulsae', 'Bidan', 'Songam', 'Youngchang', 'Jukpeoso', 'Kiho', 'Tamla', 'Hwasoored' and 'Hwanhee'. These flowers had a purplish red color and were developed in Korea. H. syriacus 'Aphrodite', 'Dr. Uemoto', 'Freedom', 'Pink Cup', 'PS 80-1', 'Purpureus Variegatus', 'Red Giant', 'Woodbridge' also had unique flowers with a purplish red color and were introduced from foreign countries. In addition, cultivars with violet pink flowers were H. syriacus 'Ggoma', 'Doturak', 'Myungmi', 'Byunghwa', 'Sancheonyu', 'Taehwa', 'Hikari-hanagasa', and 'Little Kim Violet'. 'Jongmoo' and 'Ruffled Satin' had flowers with crimson color. Therefore, the new cultivars with unique flower colors were a promising cultivars to a woody landscape plant. Cultivars with large flower sizes were Hibiscus hybrid 'Daewangchun', Hibiscus hybrid 'Daemang', and Hibiscus hybrid 'Jina'. H. syriacus 'Ggoma', 'Mibeak', 'Antong', 'Lil Kim', and 'Eunhasu' had small flower sizes. Cultivars with long red eye were H. syriacus 'Hunjang' and H. syriacus 'Hi Lea Red'. Therefore, the new cultivars, Hibiscus hybrid 'Daewangchun', Hibiscus hybrid 'Daemang', Hibiscus hybrid 'Jina' with large flower sizes, H. syriacus 'Ggoma', 'Mibeak', 'Antong', 'Lil Kim', and 'Eunhasu' with small flower sizes, H. syriacus 'Hunjang' and H. syriacus 'Hi Lea Red' with long red eye, were promising cultivars to a woody landscape plant.
