A new garden chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum Ramat.) cultivar ‘Burning Ball’ was developed at the Flower Research Institute of Chungcheongnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services in 2011. ‘Burning Ball’ was bred in 2005 through a cross between the ‘05-72-04’ line with a red-purple flower color as the female parent, and the ‘04-26-22’ line with a red-purple flower color as the male parent. Adaptation trials were conducted for two years, from 2006 to 2007, under natural conditions. To identify morphological and genetic originality, we compared the external shape type with ‘Pretty Ball’ and conducted ploidy and RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) marker analyses. The results indicate that the ‘Burning Ball’ cultivar has unique characteristics compared to ‘Pretty Ball’. As a result, ‘Burning Ball’ will be favorably accepted as a novel bed chrysanthemum in the landscaping industry, contributing to farm income (Registration No. 4184)
