Foreword
This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".
Drafting.
This document supersedes LY/T 1868-2010 "Guidelines for Testing the Distinctiveness, Uniformity and Stability of Plant Varieties – Rosa", and is consistent with LY/T 1868-Compared to 2010, aside from structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
--Added thorns. number (excluding small thorns and bristles); leaves. anthocyanin coloring; flowers. number of petals; flowers. center color (double-flowered varieties only).
(Variety); Petals. a third color on the inner surface (only applicable to varieties with two or more colors on the inner surface of the petals, excluding basal spots); Flower Petals. The distribution of the third color on the inner surface (only applicable to varieties with two or more colors on the inner surface of the petals, excluding basal spots) comprises 6 traits.
--Petals removed. Trait with a base of 1.
--The observation methods and timing for traits "Leaf. size; Flowering branch. number of lateral flower branches; Flower. diameter; Petal. size; Petal. length" have been changed.
"MS" stands for "MS/VG".

--Changed the grading type in the trait "Bud. Longitudinal Section Shape". It was changed from 1 "Elliptical", 2 "Oval", 3 "Broad Oval" to 1 "Elliptical".
1."Shape", 2."Medium oval", 3."Broad oval".
--The trait type and grading criteria for "Flower. Type" have been changed from QN to QL, and the "Thousand-Petal" grading has been removed.

-- Changed the trait "Petals. Number of colors inside (excluding base spots)" to "Petals. Number of colors on the inner surface (excluding base spots)".
(pigmentation spots).
--The trait "Petals. Color variation inside (only one color inside, excluding basal spots)" has been changed to "Petals. Color of the inner surface".
Variation (limited to varieties with only one color on the inner surface of the petals, excluding basal spots)".
--The trait "Petals. Color variation inside (only one color inside, excluding basal spots)" has been changed to "Petals. Color of the inner surface".
Variation (limited to varieties with only one color on the inner surface of the petals, excluding basal spots)".
