A standard type rose cultivar ‘Pacific Blue’was used as mother plant and it has medium scented petals. The major volatile compounds were found as germacrene-D and 3,5-Dimethoxytoluene. A spray type rose cultivar ‘Lovely Blue’was used as pollen parent and it has strong scented petals. The major volatile compounds were found as germacrene-D, geraniol and cadinene. ‘Honey Blue’has strong scented petals. The major volatile compounds were found as germacrene-D, citronellol and 3,5-dimethoxytoluene. A standard type with large sized flower, it has violet colored (RHS Violet 84C) petals and 9.7 cm in flower diameter and 50.2 petals per flower. Vase life of this cultivar could be as long as 9.1 days. It takes 49 days from pruning to blooming and cut flower productivity was 134 stems/m2 in a year. The stem length of cut flower was 75.8 cm. ‘Honey Blue’was granted on Korea Seed & Variety Service (KSVS) with No. 4866 on March 17, 2014.

A rose cultivar, ‘Summer Red’ was developed at Gyeonggi-Do Agricultural Research and Extension Services (GARES) in 2012. A cross was made between ‘Cardinal’ and ‘Fire Fox’ in 2007 and seedlings were produced in 2008. After the test of specific characters from 2010 to 2012, it was finally selected and named. A standard flower type with large sized flower, it has red color (RHS Color Chart Red Group 44B). The leaf was resistant to powdery mildew. It takes 51 days to flowering and cut flower productivity was 168.4 stems/m² in a year. The length of cut flower was long with 82.4 cm and the fresh weight of cut flower was 44.3 g. It has 12.3 cm in flower diameter, 5.5 cm in flower height, 46.7 in petal numbers per flowers and 11 days in vase life. When it grows under the below 15°C and 1,000 lux conditions the petals edge color became dark red in winter season. This new rose cultivar, ‘Summer Red’ was granted on Korea Seed & Variety Service with No. 4867 in 2014.
